Answer 2

Answer:

Metal oxides are basic in nature.

Explanation:

Say for example u take iron oxide. (Iron is a metal..hope u know)... now if u dissolve it in water and test with a blue litmus paper, u will find it turns red. So, it's clear that metal oxides are basic in nature.

U can also.take a nonmetallic oxide, dissolve in water and test whether it is acidic or basic. u will find that it is acidic

That's why metal oxides are basic while nonmetallic oxides are acidic in nature...
