Metals, except $Al$ and $Zn,$ react with oxygen to form _______ oxides.
  • Basic
  • B
    Acidic
  • C
    Neutral
  • D
    Amphoteric
Answer
Correct option: A.
Basic

Most of the metals react with oxygen to form metal oxides. For example: magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. The reaction involved is: $2Mg(s) + O2(g) \rightarrow 2MgO(s)$ The metal oxide form alkali solution when dissolved in water. This solution turns red litmus paper to blue. Hence, these metal oxides are basic in nature.
