Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{aqua}{pik}{Answer}}$

Basic In Nature.

• Metal oxides are basic in nature because they react with water to form bases. Moreover, the oxides turn moist red litmus paper blue and blue remains blue.

$\large\mathfrak{\underline{\underline{\pink{Additional \: Info:-}}}}$

Metal oxides are basic in nature. For example, Magnesium Oxide is a metallic oxide. It will be basic because on adding water to it it will become Mg(OH)2 (Magnesium Hydroxide) which is a base.

Non Metallic oxides are always acidic in nature. For example Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a non metallic oxide. On adding water to this, Carbonic acid will be formed.
