The are oxides of non metals which are neither acidic
nor basic in nature or these are not
react with acids or bases for
examples.

Neutral Oxides
The Usanovich Acid- Base Concept
According to this concept acids are any chemical species which react with bases and gives cations or accept anions or electrons.
Similarly Bases are a chemical species which react with acids and gives anions or electrons or cations
Hard and Soft acids and bases:
Lux- Flood Acid-Base Concept:
The Lux-Flood concept is given by Lux in 1929 and supported by Flood in 1947. Lux-Flood concept is based on oxide ion acceptor and donor tendency.
Lux-Flood bases: According to this concept bases are
those species which can donate oxide ions examples.
Lux-Flood Acids: According to this concept Acids are
those species which can accept oxide ions.
Chemical Reactions according Lewis acid-base concept:
Acid-base reaction in term Lux-Flood acid and base is a specific reactions in which oxide ions are mainly use in molten form or at high temperature.
Amphoteric Nature of Oxides as per Lux-Flood Concept:
Acidic Nature of Xenon
fluoride as per Lux-Flood Concept:
According to Lux –Flood concept Xenon
fluorides accept oxide ions from other compounds and insert fluorides ions in
its place.
For examples
The Order of decreasing Lux-Flood acidity of Xenon Fluorides is given as:
Limitations of Lux-Flood Acid –base Concept:
(1) It is
dealing with anhydrous reaction in fused molten oxides and other high temperature reactions found in
metallurgy and ceramics.
(2) When
Lux-Flood, acidic and basic of oxide react with water gives corresponding acid
and base.
Limitations of Lux-Flood Acid
–base Concept:
(1) Base
must contain oxide ion and acid must have accept oxide ions.
(2)It
fails to explain reaction without metal
ions
The Solvent system(Self or Auto Ionization of Solvents)
The most common concept of
acids and bases is due to Cady and Elsey. Most of the solvents undergo
auto-ionization and form cation and anions like water, regardless it contains
protons or not for examples; H2O, NH3, H2SO4, HNO3, POCl3,
BrF3, N2O4, NOCl, CH3COOH,

Why Bond length of O-O is greater in H2O2 than O2F2?
Electronegativity of F is much more than hydrogen and also hybridization of oxygen atoms in of H2O2 and O2F2 both have (sp3) same . According bent’s rule those hybrid orbitals containing flourine atom have less % s-characterand more p-character while other orbitals have more % s-character and less % s-character hence O-O bond length in O2F2 is shorter thane H2O2.
What is Bent’s rule of hybridization?
Which of the following compound have longest (S=O)bond length , O=SF2, O=SCl2, O=SBr2.
