Answer 1

Answer:

hydroxide, nitroxide

Answer 2

Types of oxides

Oxides are binary compounds of oxygen with another element, e.g., CO2, SO2, CaO, CO, ZnO, BaO2, H2O, etc. These are termed as oxides because here, oxygen is in combination with only one element.

Types of Oxides

Based on their acid-base characteristics oxides are classified as acidic or basic. An oxide that combines with water to give an acid is termed as an acidic oxide. The oxide that gives a base in water is known as a basic oxide.

Acidic oxides

Acidic oxides are the oxides of non-metals. When combined with water, they produce acids, e.g.,

formation of sulphurous acid

formation of carbonic acid

formation of sulphuric acid

Acidic oxides are, therefore, known as acid anhydrides, e.g., sulphur dioxide is sulphurous anhydride; sulphur trioxide is sulphuric anhydride.

When these oxides combine with bases, they produce salts, e.g.,

formation of Na2SO3

Basic oxides

Basic oxides are the oxides of metals. If soluble in water they react with water to produce hydroxides (alkalies)
