From left to right going in the periodic table the oxides form basic oxide at left and becomes acidic at right the oxides at center are amphotreric by nature
like Na2O MgO are basic where As Cl2O7 SiO2 are acidic and ZnO etc are of dual nature that is they show both property of acidic and basic
some oxides are neutral
like CO
N2O
etc
