Mixed Oxides:

The oxides in which oxidation state of oxygen atom is found to be it's uncommon oxidation state on central atom. Mixed oxides on dissolving in water undergo "disproportionation" 

For examples B2O3, ClO2, Cl2O7 , N2O5 , As2Oetc.

Perovskite Oxides:

ABO3 type Oxides are also called Perovskite for examples CaTiO3  And BaTiO3.


Sesqui Oxides

The oxides in which number of oxygen atoms pet central atoms is found to be 3/2 .And it may be ionic, covalent or missed oxides.Mostly M2O3 type Oxides (Corundum structure) are sesqui Oxides.  Where M+2= Al, Ga, Ti, V, Cr, Fe, The etc.

Examples , B2O3, N2O3, Al2O3 ( covalent oxide) Fe2O3 (ionic oxide) Pb2O3 (mixed oxide)

Super Oxides

The oxides in which oxidati state of oxygen atom always -1/2, and super oxides are always ionic and paramagnetic.

For examples KO2 , PbO2, (NH4)O2 etc.

KO2 => k+[O-O]-. Have following character

Bond pair -2

Lone pair -2

Hybri- sp2, linear non planner and bond angle not applicable.



Neutral Oxides

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.

                                 CO, NO, N2O, H2O and OF2 etc.
