Oxides

• Acidic oxides are oxides of non-metals that react with basic oxides to give salts and react with alkali solutions to give salts and water.
• Basic oxides are oxides of metals that react with acids to form salts and water, and neutralize acids.
• Amphoteric oxides are metallic oxides that possess both basic and acidic properties, reacting with both acids and alkalis to form salts and water.
• Neutral oxides show neither basic nor acidic character.
• Peroxides are oxides that react with acids to give salts and hydrogen peroxide.
• Compound oxide is a compound oxide is an oxide, formed by the combination of two different oxides of the same element.
