Question

What are acidic basic and amphoteric oxides and their properties with example?

Answer 1

Amphoteric/Acidic Metal Oxides: Many metals form amphoteric oxides or hydroxides. Metal oxides which react with both acids as well as bases to produce salts and water are known as amphoteric oxides. Be, Al, Ga, Sb, Sn, Pb, Zn are examples of metals that form amphoteric oxides * hydroxides.

Answer 2

Answer:

An acidic oxide is an oxide which when combined with water gives off an acid. A basic oxide is an oxide which when combined with water gives off a base. When a substance reacts chemically, both as a base or acid it termed as an amphoteric solution.
