Question

Metals react with oxyden to form ______
a. Basic oxides b. Acidic oxides
c. Hydroxide d. Neutral oxides

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Metal oxides are crystalline solids that contain a metal cation and an oxide anion. They 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.
