Question

Metals react with oxygen to form
a. hydroxides
b. basic oxides
c. acidic oxides
d. neutral oxides
inn:
crocone?​

Answer 1

Required Answer:-

The metals when react with oxygen result in Metallic oxide. Metallic oxide are generally:

• $\large{ \bf{ \blue{Basic \: in \: nature}}}$

Explanation:-

• The reaction of these metals depends on their reactivity.

• This we can determine through the reactivity series which compares the relative reactivity of metals.

• Sodium and potassium reacts vigourously. Magnesium and calcium little less violent. Aluminium, Zinc and lead lesser at higher temperature.

But.....!!

• Sometimes, some metal oxides like Aluminium oxide, Zinc oxide etc. reacts with both acids and bases which shows their amphoteric nature (both acidic and basic nature).

But generally they form basic oxides (B)

Answer 2

Required Answer:-

Usually metal oxides are basic in nature

So, Your Answer is:-

${ \boxed{ \boxed{ \bold{ \bigstar{basic \: oxides}}}}}$

Few lines about oxides:-

Oxides are chemical compounds with one or more oxygen atoms combined with another element.

Are oxides are basic?....

It is basic because it contains the oxide ion, O^2- which is a very strong base with a high tendency to combine with hydrogen ions.
