Hey bestie !!Here is your answer !!
♦__________________________________________♦
♦♦ Metaloxides are basic in nature.Hence they show basic behavior.
♦♦ Metal oxides are basic in nature as when they react with dilute acid like HCL to form salt and water (H2O).
♦♦ Then they again react with water and metalhydroxides are formed as product.
♦♦ These metal oxides are basic in nature means alkaline.

Lemme explain you the concept by taking an example :-
Metal oxide +Acid ->Salt +water
Let us take example of Copper which is a metal.
So here is the reaction :-
CuO+2HCL->CaCl2+H2O
♦ In the reaction Copper chloride is formed.
♦♦ Other example:-
Calcium is also a metal. Here is the reaction
CaO+2HCL->CaCl2+H2O
Calcium chloride is formed here.
♦ It is also a neutralization reaction.
Hope it is satisfactory :-)

Hii I will help you ✌️
=> Metal oxides are basic in nature because they react with water to form bases. Moreover, the oxides turn moist red litmus paper blue and blue remains blue.
