• With the help of examples, describe how metal oxides differ from non-metal oxides. (b)Which of the following elements would yield: (i) an acidic oxide, (ii) a basic oxide, and (iii) a neutral oxide? Na, S, C, K, H

• Metal oxides are basic in nature which can turn red litmus solution to blue while non-metals oxides are generally acidic in nature and turns blue litmus to red.

For example Sodium oxide is basic in nature and sulphur dioxide is basic in nature (b)(i) S and C would yield acidic acidic oxides

• Basic oxides are Na and K
• Neutral oxides is H
