Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ionic oxides are formed when a metal reacts with oxygen, resulting in the transfer of electrons from the metal to the oxygen to form an ionic compound. SrO is an example of ionic oxide as strontium (a metal) reacts with oxygen to form an ionic compound. SiO₂ and SO₂ are silicon oxide and sulfur oxide respectively, which are not ionic oxides as they are non-metal oxides and involve covalent bonding.
