Question 1 Report

The following oxides react with both acids and bases to form salts except
Answer Details
The oxide that does not react with both acids and bases to form salts is carbon (IV) oxide. Carbon (IV) oxide is a neutral oxide, meaning it does not have acidic or basic properties. It does not ionize in water to form H+ or OH- ions and therefore does not react with acids or bases to form salts. Zinc oxide, lead (II) oxide, aluminium oxide and tin (IV) oxide are all basic oxides, which means they react with acids to form salts and with bases to form complex salts or basic salts.
