Study Notes
Basic Oxides and Metals
- Metals with a low oxidation state form basic oxides.
- Basic oxides react with water to form hydroxides.
- Basic oxides combine with acids to form salts and water.
- Basic oxides contain a metal and oxygen.
Acidic Oxides and Nonmetals
- Nonmetals with a high oxidation state form acidic oxides
- Acidic oxides react with water to form acids.
- Acidic oxides combine with bases to form salts and water.
- Acidic oxides contain a nonmetal and oxygen.
Naming Rules
- To name basic oxides, simply add the word "oxide" in front of the metal's name.
- To name acidic oxides, add the word "anhydride" in front of the nonmetal's name.
- Examples included, sodium oxide, aluminum oxide, sulfur anhydride.
- Note the different oxidation states from the various examples: iron(II) oxide and iron(III) oxide; sulfur(IV) oxide and sulfur(VI) oxide as examples.
