$H_{2}O$, NO, CO, etc, are ________ oxides.

Answer 1

Neutral oxides show neither basic nor acidic properties and hence do not form salts when reacted with acids or bases, e.g., Water $\left(H_{2}O\right)$ carbon monoxide (CO), nitrous oxide $\left(N_{2}O\right)$, nitric oxide (NO), etc., are neutral oxides.
