Metallic oxides generally react with water to form bases. The solubility of metallic oxides in water varies. Oxides of alkali metals (Group 1) and some alkaline earth metals (Group 2, heavier ones) are soluble in water, reacting to form strong bases. Oxides of transition metals and other metals are typically insoluble or only slightly soluble in water.
