Answer 1

Oxides can be both metallic and non metallic.Acid oxides is a complex chemical substance oxides, which form a salt with the chemical reactions with bases or basic oxides and do not react with acidic oxides.

example:-Carbon Dioxide

CO2 (g)+ 2 NaOH (aq) →  Na2CO3(s) + H2O (l)

Answer 2

Acidic oxides are the oxides which on dissolving in water form acids. These are generally oxides of non metals.

For examples

1) CO2 ,,,, CO2 on dissolving in water forms carbonic acid ( H2CO3 )

2) SO2 ,,,, SO2 in dissolving in water forms Sulphurous acid ( H2SO3 )
