Question

how can we that metallic oxides are basic in nature ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Metallic oxides are basic in nature because they react with dilute acids to form salt and water. They also react with water to form metal hydroxides which are alkaline in nature because these metal hydroxides release OH- ions in solution. ... Therefore, non metallic oxides would be acidic in nature.

Answer 2

Answer:

Metallic oxides are basic in nature because they react with dilute acids to form salt and water. They also react with water to form metal hydroxides which are alkaline in nature because these metal hydroxides release OH- ions in solution

We have learnt that metallic oxides are basic nature. This is because the oxides of metals like MgO or CaO or NaX2O form hydroxides in their aqueous solutions.
