Answer:
Basic oxide:
Metals react with oxygen to give basic compounds of oxygen. These compounds are usually ionic in nature. Group 1, 2 and lanthanides form basic compounds of oxygen when they react with dioxygen. During the formation of these compounds, a large amount of energy is released. These compounds readily react with water except a few exceptions.
Examples: M2O3, MO2, ThO2
Na2O + H2O → 2NaOH
Acidic oxide:
Non-metals react with oxygen to form acidic compounds of oxides which are held together by covalent bonds. These compounds can also be called as acid anhydrides. Acid anhydrides usually have a low melting and boiling point except for compounds like B2O3 and SiO2 which have high melting points and form giant molecules.
Examples: NO, CO2
SO3 + H2O → H2SO4
B2O3 + H2O → 2H3BO3
Hope this answer helps you out.
