How is SiO2 a basic oxide

Answers

Answered by khriya

Silicon dioxide (silicon(IV) oxide) Silicon is too similar in electronegativity to oxygen to form ionic bonds. Therefore, because silicon dioxide does not contain oxide ions, it has no basic properties. In fact, it is very weakly acidic, reacting with strong bases.
