Question

Oxides which give bases on reaction with water are called acidic oxides - True or False?

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

For example, calcium oxide combines with water to give calcium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide is a base.
$CaO+H_{2}O\to Ca(OH{)}_2$
Thus oxides which give base on reaction with water are called basic oxides.
