Calcium oxide is basic in nature because it's produces Ca(OH)2 in the aqueous solution of it.
- When we add calcium oxide in the water it dissociates in the water and produces OH- ions.
(Here the production of OH- ions is dependent on the oxygen molecules of the water)
And we know that only basic materials produce OH- ions.
- The OH- ions also produce Ca(OH)2 which is also basic in nature.
And we can also do the litmus test which also confirms it's basic nature.
