Answer:
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.
Reactions :
- Lithium oxide reacts with water to produce Lithium hydroxide: Li2O(s) + H2O(l) → 2 Li+(aq) + 2 OH−(aq)
- Sodium oxide reacts with water to produce Sodium hydroxide: Na2O(s) + H2O(l) → 2 NaOH(aq)

Explanation:
Ionic metal oxides react with water to give hydroxides (compounds containing the OH− ion) and resultant basic solutions, whereas most nonmetal oxides react with water to form acids and resultant acidic solutions (see the table).
