The nature of oxides shows periodicity.

Across the period: The oxides of elements in a particular period show decreasing basic nature and finally become acidic

Down a group: The basic nature of oxides of metals increases.

As the metallic character decreases, the basic nature decreases among the oxides. Metallic nature decrease from left to right among representative elements.Cu is the least metallic among Na, Mg, Al, & Cu.
