OXIDES

-Types of Oxides-

At the end of this topic, you should


be able to:
Identify

Oxidation Numbers
Form and name oxides
Classify oxides as acidic, basic,
amphoteric or neutral based on
metallic/non-metallic character

What is an oxide?
An

oxide is a compound of oxygen


and another element.

Most

oxides can be grouped into four


types:
acidic

oxides
basic oxides
amphoteric oxides
neutral oxides

Cross over method

Acidic oxides
Oxides

of non-metal
Acidic oxides are often gases at room
temperature.

Acidic oxides
React

with water to produce acids.

Example:

sulphur trioxide + water


SO3 + H2O

sulphuric acid
H2SO4

Acidic oxides
React

with bases and alkalis to produce salts

Example:
carbon dioxide + sodium hydroxide

CO2 + 2NaOH

sodium carbonate + water

Na2CO3 + H2O

Examples of acidic oxides


Acidic Oxide

Formula

Acid Produced with


Water

sulphur trioxide

SO3

sulphuric acid, H2SO4

sulphur dioxide

SO2

sulphurous acid, H2SO3

carbon dioxide

CO2

carbonic acid, H2CO3

phosphorous(V)
oxide

P4O10

phosphoric acid, H3PO4

Basic oxides
Oxides

of metal
Basic oxides are often solids at room
temperature.
Most basic oxides are
insoluble in water.

Calcium oxide (quicklime)

Basic oxides
React

with acids to produce salts and


water only.
Example:
Magnesium oxide + hydrochloric acid

MgO + 2HCl

magnesium chloride + water

MgCl2 + H2O

This is a neutralisation reaction

Examples of basic oxides


Basic Oxide

Formula

magnesium oxide

MgO

sodium oxide

Na2O

calcium oxide

CaO

copper(II) oxide

CuO

Amphoteric oxides
Oxides

of metal
Can behave as acidic oxides
or as basic oxides

Zinc oxide

Amphoteric oxides
React

with acids and alkalis to produce salts

Example: aluminium oxide (Al2O3)

aluminium oxide as a base

aluminium + hydrochloric
acid
oxide

aluminium
+
chloride

water

sodium +
aluminate

water

aluminium oxide as an acid

aluminium
sodium
+ hydroxide
oxide

Neutral oxides
Non-metals

that form oxides that show neither


basic nor acidic properties.
Insoluble in water.

Examples of neutral oxides


Neutral Oxide

Formula

water

H 2O

carbon monoxide

CO

nitric oxide

NO

How can we classify an unknown


oxide?
First question:
Does the oxide dissolve in acid?

YES

NO

It is either a basic or amphoteric oxide.

Next question:
Is the oxide soluble in alkali?

Soluble

Insoluble

It is either an acidic or neutral oxide.

Next question:
Is the oxide soluble in alkali?

Soluble

Insoluble

Amphoteric oxide
What is an amphoteric oxide?
