Oxides can be classified as acidic,basic,amphoteric and neutral.Give two examples of each type of oxides.
Answers
Answer:
The best examples would be sulfur dioxide, sulfur trioxide, nitrogen dioxide and carbon dioxide. All these dissolve in water to form, respectively, sulfurous acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid and carbonic acid. The last one is quite safe to consume.Sodium oxide, which reacts with water to produce sodium hydroxide. Magnesium oxide.Neutral oxides are the oxides which show neither basic nor acidic properties when they react with water. Examples are carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrous oxide (N2O) which are only slightly soluble in water, and nitric oxide (NO).amphoteric oxides. Answer: Oxides of metals which have both acidic as well as basic behaviour are known as amphoteric oxides. Such metallic oxides react with acids as well as base to produce salt and water. Examples of Amphoteric oxides are aluminium oxide and zinc oxide.
