Examples of Basic Metal Oxides
A basic oxide also known as metal oxides is a binary compound formed by the union of a metal with oxygen. A basic metal oxide is represented by the chemical formula XO, where the “x” represents meta and the “o” represents oxygen.
A basic metal oxide is characterized by the union of a bond known as ionic. A basic metallic oxide is based on having solid characteristics but with the particularity of having a high melting point.
