What is an oxide?

Concept map classifying oxides into basic, acidic and amphoteric groups with examples and reaction patterns

An oxide is a compound of oxygen with another element. In this topic, you will classify oxides by how they react, not just by memorising names.

Oxides

Step-by-step lessons covering CIE IGCSE Chemistry Oxides for Core and Extended tier. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Paper 1 and Paper 3 (Core) or Paper 2 and Paper 4 (Extended), plus Paper 5 or Paper 6 format. Build a solid grasp of atomic structure, bonding and the mole concept early, since these underpin almost every other topic, then move on to the more calculation-heavy quantitative and organic chemistry content.
