Answer

a) $SO_{3}$ b) $ZnO$ c) $CaO$

Work Step by Step

a) $SO_{3}$ is an acidic oxide because it can react with bases, for example: $SO_{3} + 2NaOH \rightarrow Na_{2}SO_{4} + H_{2}O$ b) $ZnO$ is an amphoteric oxide because it can react both with bases and acids, for example: $ZnO + 2NaOH \rightarrow Na_{2}ZnO_{2} + H_{2}O$ $ZnO + 2HCl \rightarrow ZnCl_{2} + H_{2}O$ c) $CaO$ is a basic oxide because it can react with acids, for example: $CaO + 2HCl \rightarrow CaCl_{2} + H_{2}O$
