# Acidic and basic oxides

> Most metal oxides are basic oxides that react with acids to give a salt and water (e.g. FeO, Fe2O3); most non-metal oxides are acidic oxides (e.g. SO2, CO2).

> [ar-EG] أغلب الـ metal oxides بتبقى basic oxides، بتتفاعل مع الـ acids وتدي salt ومية (زي الـ FeO والـ Fe2O3)؛ وأغلب الـ non-metal oxides بتبقى acidic oxides (زي الـ SO2 والـ CO2).
