why do metallic oxide are called basic oxide​

Answer 1

Answer 2

If metals are burnt in air i.e. combined with oxygen by the process of combustion, we get the metal oxide. If this oxide in turn mixed with water, then the resultant solution would turn red litmus blue showing that it is basic. Hence, these metal oxides are termed as basic oxides.
