Basic

Metal oxides form basic oxides. They react with water to form hydroxides.

Acidic

Non-metallic oxides are acidic. They react with water to produce acidic solutions. When they combine together, they do a Neutralization Reaction, where there is a salt and some water.

Amphoteric oxides

They do not affect pH when added to water. However, they act like acid when put to a base, and act like a base when put against solid. An example would be .
