Answer:
Metallic oxides are basic in nature because they react with dilute acids to form salt and water. Copper(II) oxide dissolves in mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or nitric acid to give the corresponding copper(II) salts. ... CuO + 2 HCl → CuCl2 + H2O.

It is so Because they are basic in nature because they react with dilute acids to form salt and water. They also react with water to form metal hydroxides which are alkaline in nature, as these metal hydroxides release OH- ions in solution. ... Therefore non metallic oxides are acidic in nature.
Likewise, when Cu reacts with dilute HCl it produces cuprous chloride and water and hydrogen gas is evolved. Cu +2HCl +H2O=> CuCl2 + 2H2O + H2.
