What are called acidic oxide and basic oxide? Give example of each
Answers
Answer:
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 molecule.
Answer:
Acidic oxide : Acidic oxides, or acid anhydride, are oxides that react with water to form an acid, or with a base to form a salt. They are oxides of either nonmetals or of metals in high oxidation states. Their chemistry can be systematically understood by taking an oxoacid and removing water from it, until only an oxide remains.
basic oxide : Basic oxides are oxides that show basic properties in opposition to acidic oxides and that either. react with water to form a base; or. react with an acid to form a salt and water which are called neutralization reactions.
