I have music ADD (lol) I just need some less heard of, but still good metal bands. Just list away please.
Metal oxides are basic oxides. This means that they are alkali when dissolved in water. Na2O, a metal oxide dissolves in water to form NaOH which is alkali. An Alkali is on that dissolves in water to form hydroxide ions (OH-). Thus all metal hydroxides and metal oxides are alkalis.
non metal oxides are acidic metal oxides are basic
Alkali Metals have a central atom as oxygen and its octet is already filled up by Magnesium atom. So It can gain no more electron. So it have a tendency to loose electron so it is a lewis base..
Usually they are alkaline. MgO is alkaline because it has an alkaline metal. However, they are almost all alkali. I can't think of an acidic one. Metal Hydroxides are always alkaline because they have the hydroxide ion.
