Solution

Dear student

Acidic oxides are the non-metal oxides and form acids when reacted with water:
eg SO₂ , NO₂

Basic oxides are the oxides of metals that produce bases on reacting with water:
eg. CaO, CuO, Na₂O

An amphoteric oxide is an oxide that can act both as an acid and as a base.
eg: Al₂O₃ , ZnO
