Question

How can be explain that oxides of metals are basic in nature with the help of an activity?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

When metallic oxides react with water they form metallic hydroxides which are basic in nature. To show that these are basic in nature ,we should conduct a litmus paper test. In this experiment ,we will observe that red litmus turns blue on coming in contact with them. This shows that metallic oxides are basic in nature.
