oxides and hydroxides

[samanthaywu]

Which metal oxides and metal hydroxides form bases? Do all the group 1 and group 2 elements work? Are there any transition metal bases that we should know?

[Audrey Han 3L]

Yes, all of group one and two form oxides/hydroxides.

[Rohit Srinivas 2D]

The response above talks about group 1 and two. So I will talk about some transitional metals. These also can form hydroxides and oxides as seen in the textbook. This is because they can become a +3 or +4 ion and can bind to oxygen which is -2 or hydroxide which is -1

[Lesly Lopez 3A]

Straight Answer: Yes, all of the ones that are part of group one and two are able to form oxides/hydroxides.

[LavieTran2B]

To answer simply, yes. Both group 1 and group 2 elements will form oxides and hydroxides.

[Aaron Martinez]

Yes, all group one and two metals can form bases. There are more metals than just these that can form bases however.

yes, both groups 1 and 2 can form oxides/hydroxides

[Amanda Pineda 3H]

Hi! So yes all the group 1 and group 2 metals will form oxides and hydroxides because they lose an electron(s) and the cation of the element will form a oxide or hydroxide with another element or molecule.
