Question

Metals react with oxygen to form their oxides which are generally
(a) Neutral in nature
(b) Basic in nature
(c) Acidic in nature
(d) None of these

Answer 1

Answer:

Basic in nature form their oxides which are generally.

Answer 2

Answer:

(b) Basic in nature

Explanation:

Metallic oxide are basic in nature as when they reacts with the dilute acids they make neutralization reaction that is they form salt and water as a product.

When metallic oxide reacts with water then they form metallic hydroxides which are basic in nature.

So, the above statements prove that the metallic oxides are basic in nature.

So, option (b) is correct.
