Question

metal oxides are called basic in nature. Explain and support your ans by balanced

chemical equations.​

Answer 1

Answer:

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 solutionThey typically react with water to form bases or with acids to form salts. MO + H2O → M(OH)2 (where M = group 2 metal) Thus, these compounds are often called basic oxides.
