Question
Give the example of the acidic oxide, basic oxide, amphoteric oxide and neutral oxide. State which of the oxide react with water to give a base.

Solution
Acidic oxide: Non-metallic oxides are acidic oxides.
SO2
Basic oxide: Metallic oxides are basic oxides.
Na2O
Amphoteric oxide: Oxides of metals like Zn, Pb, Al are amphoteric oxides.
ZnO
Neutral oxide: Oxides like NO, CO, N2O are neutral oxides.
Basic oxides react with water to give bases.
