Acidic Oxide Basic oxide Neutral oxide Amphorteric Oxide

Oxide of non-metal that dissolves Oxide of metal Oxides of non-metal that Oxides of some metals that reacts with
in water to form acid. reacts with neither acid both acid and strong alkali to form salt
or bases and water.
Example Carbon dioxide-CO2 Magnesium oxide- MgO, Nitrogen monoxide-NO, Zinc oxide - ZnO
sulfur dioxide-SO2 , sodium oxide-Na2O, dinitrogen oxide/ nitrous Aluminium oxide - Al2O3,
Nitrogen dioxide-NO2 Iron II oxide FeO oxide -N2O, Lead oxide - PbO
Sulphur trioxide- SO3 Carbon monoxide- CO
silicon dioxide - SiO2 *the metals listed above their hydroxides
are also amphotheric
Reactions 1. Acid oxide react with water 1. Basic oxide reacts with 1. Reacts with acid to form salt and
to produce acid acidic oxide to produce salt. water
CO2(g) + H2O(l) H2CO3(aq) Acidic oxide Type of salt
SO2(g) + H2O(l) H2SO3(aq) formed ZnO(s) + 2HCl(aq)  ZnCl2(aq) + H2O(l)
SO3(g) + H2O(l) H2SO4(aq)
CO2 carbonate
NO2(g) + H2O(l) HNO2(aq) + 2. Amphotheric oxide/ hydroxide
SO2 sulfite
HNO3(aq) Reacts with alkali to form salt
SO3 sulfate
and water
NO2 nitrate
2. Acidic oxide reacts with
metal oxide to produce salt. The metal oxide forms the anions for the
SO2(g) + Na2O(s)  Na2SO3(s)
salt
2NO2(g) + 2CaO(s)  Ca(NO3)2(s)
Acidic oxide Type of salt
formed Amphoteric oxide Anions
CO2 carbonate Zinc oxide/ Zincate
2. Metal oxides in group I
SO2 sulfite hydroxide ZnO22-
(alkali metal) and calcium
SO3 sulfate Lead Plumbate
dissolves in water to form
NO2 nitrate oxide/hydroxide PbO22-
alkali (soluble metal
Aluminium oxide / Aluminate
hydroxide)
CO2(g) + Na2O(s)  Na2CO3(s) hydroxide AlO2-
SO3(g) + MgO(s)  MgSO4(s) K2O(s) + H2O(l)  2KOH(aq)
Na2O(s) + H2O(l)  2NaOH(aq) PbO(s) + 2NaOH(aq) Na2PbO2(aq) + H2O(l)
3. Acid oxide reacts with alkali Zn(OH)2(s) + KOH(aq)  K2ZnO2(aq) + H2O(l)
to from salt and water 3. Metal oxide reacts with acid
to form salt and water only
NaOH(aq) + CO2(g)  Na2CO3(aq) + H2O(l)
MgO(s) + H2SO4(aq)  MgSO4(aq) +H2O(l)
