Answer:
ANSWER
Since the oxide turns red litmus blue, therefore X is a metal because it is an alkaline oxide.
Most of the metals form respective metal oxides when react with oxygen.
Metal + Oxygen → metal oxide
Examples: (1) Reaction of potassium with oxygen:- Potassium metal forms potassium oxide when reacts with oxygen.
4K+O2→2K2O
(2) Reaction of sodium with oxygen:- Sodium metal forms sodium oxide when reacts with oxygen.
4Na+O2→2Na2O
