{{Unreferenced|date=December 2009}}Basic oxides are oxides that show basic properties in opposition to acidic oxides and that either - reacts with water to form a base; or
- reacts with an acid to form a salt and water.
They are usually formed by reacting oxygen with metals, especially alkali and alkaline earth metals, whereas non-metals usually form acidic oxides. Examples include: - Sodium oxide, which reacts with water to produce sodium hydroxide
- Magnesium oxide, which reacts with hydrochloric acid to form magnesium chloride
- Copper(II) oxide, which reacts with nitric acid to form copper nitrate
