Oxides are binary compounds of oxygen with another element, e.g., CO2, SO2, CaO, CO, ZnO, BaO2, H2O, etc. These are termed as oxides because here, oxygen is in combination with only one element. Based on their acid-base characteristics oxides are classified as acidic, basic, amphoteric or neural: An oxide that combines with water to give an acid is termed as an acidic oxide.

It is the most commonly occurring of several aluminium oxides, and specifically identified as aluminium(III) oxide.l 2 O 3 is significant in its use to produce aluminium metal, as an abrasive owing to its hardness, and as a refractory material owing to its high melting point.
