Chapter 8, Problem 8.74P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the reaction of a main group metal oxide in water produces an acidic or a basic solution is to be determined. Also, the balanced equation for the reaction of a group 2A(2) oxide with water is to be written.

Concept introduction:

Metal oxides are the chemical compounds formed between metals and oxygen. These oxides generally contain an oxide ion of -2 charge. These oxides are usually basic in nature and exist in a solid state.

Metal oxides are basic in nature because when they react with water to form the corresponding hydroxides which are basic in nature due to their tendency to lose OH ions in solution.
