Metal oxides or O   −  OX2X− forms OH −  OHX− after hydrolysis in the following reaction so metal oxides are basic in aqeous solutions. O   − +2H  O⟶4OH −  OX2X−+2HX2O⟶4OHX−

I think this might happen as metal form ionic compunds and non-metals form covalent and some of them may not even react tus neutral.

I've got only a little 5% 5% of the exact reason, therefore I wish if someone could explain the whole process/fact. I considered Arhenius concept.
