Answer 2

Answer:

When metals reacts with oxygen, the resulting oxide of the metal is a basic oxide.

Explanation:

When metals reacts react with oxygen and form metal oxides.

i.e.

Na + O2 = Na2O

We know that only bases reacts with acids to give salt and water as products.

Base + Acid = Salt + Water

Therefore,

When metal oxides reacts with acids i.e.

Na2O + HCl = NaCl + H2O

The product is salt and water as well.

Hence,

When metals reacts with oxygen, the resulting oxide of the metal is a basic oxide.
