Types of simple oxides group 16 elements p block elements class 12

Simple oxides may be defined as a binary compound of oxygen with other element. Most of the times when elements forms two or more oxides with oxygen.

Oxides can be simple or mixed and are are remarkably different in their nature and properties.

Classification of types of simple oxides and their properties 

Types of simple oxides Acidic Oxides p block elements

Those oxides which combines with water to give an acid are known as acidic oxides. Non metallic oxides like CO2, SO2 when combines with water they give acids therefore non metallic oxides are generally acidic in nature.

Also the metallic oxides in higher oxidation states are also acidic in nature like Mn2O7 , CrO3 , and so on.

Types of simple oxides Basic Oxides s block elements 

Those oxides which combines with water to give a base are called as basic oxides like Na2O, CaO. They mostly dissolve in water to give basic solutions.

Types of simple oxides Amphoteric oxides

The Amphoteric oxides are those oxides which can react with both acids and bases. Amphoteric oxides show the characteristics of both acidic as well as basic oxides for example a Al2O3 .

Here all the examples are explained with their reactions in the notes given above and also in the video mentioned above.

Types of simple oxides Neutral oxides 

Neutral oxides are those which are neither acidic or basic for example CO , NO , N2O
