उत्तर
Most metal oxides and metal hydroxides are basic in nature. They react with acids to form salt and water.
Example:
\[\ce{CuO + 2HCl → CuCl2 + H2O}\]
Some metal oxides and hydroxides are amphoteric in nature. They react with both acids and bases.
Examples: ZnO, Zn(OH)2, PbO and Pb(OH)2.
Thus, metal oxides and hydroxides may be basic or amphoteric in nature.
