they are basic in nature because they react with dilute acids to form salt and water.
they also dislove in water to form metal hydroxides which are alkali.

heyy buddy!!
metal oxides are basic in nature. Some of the metal oxides react with water to form alkalis. Metal oxides turn red litmus to blue.
sodium metal reacts with oxygen in air to form a basic oxide called sodium oxide
4Na + O2 -> 2Na2O
sodium oxide react with water to form an alkali called sodium hydroxide
Na2O + H2O -> 2NaOH
due to the formation of sodium hydroxide alkali a solution of sodium oxide in water turns red litmus to blue which proves it is basic in nature.
hope this would help u and if it does plzz mark it as brainliest :):)
