Solution

NATURE F METALLIC OXIDES.
1.they tend to react with water to form basic solutions of the metal hydroxide

2.Some metal oxides are basic or amphoteric in nature and form salts with base in neutralization reaction.

{NATURE OF NON- METALLIC OXIDES}.

1.Non-metals react with oxygen in the air to produce non-metal oxides

2.Non-metal oxides such as sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide are responsible for acid rain.
