Solution
Acidic oxide: Non-metallic oxides are acidic oxides.
CO2
Basic oxide: Metallic oxides are basic oxides.
K2O
Amphoteric oxide: Oxides of metals like Zn, Pb, Al are amphoteric oxides.
PbO
Neutral oxide: Oxides like NO, CO, N2O are neutral oxides.
Acidic oxide reacts with a base to give salt and water.
