Question

Is iron oxide acidic or basic? How can you check it. Do other metals also the same property? Give example​

Answer 1

Answer:

Their oxides form acidic solutions. The oxides of aluminum (Al2O3), tin(II) (SnO), and iron (III) (Fe2O3), for example, are amphoteric species—that is, they exhibit both acidic and basic properties.

Yes metals have same properties but there are some exceptions in that.

Answer 2

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.
