•Obliquely IAWS have been investigated.•KdV and Burger equations were derived.•Trapping effect is discussed.•Electron degenerate temperature effect is discussed.•Solitary and Shock waves are plotted. The properties of obliquely propagating ion-acoustic waves have been investigated in multi-ions magnetized plasma comprising of inertial, positively and negatively charged ion fluids, trapped electrons, and negatively charged stationary heavy ions. The propagation of the waves is oblique to the ambient magnetic field which is along the z-direction. Only fast type of modes exists in the linear regime. The reductive perturbation method was adopted to derive the Korteweg– de Vries (KdV) and Burger equations, as well as the solitary and shock wave solutions of the evolved equations, have been used to analyze the properties of the small but finite amplitude waves. The effects of the constituent plasma parameters, namely, the trapping effect of electrons, the electron degenerate temperature and the viscosity coefficient on the dynamics of the small amplitude solitary and shock waves have been examined. The influence of the magnetic field and the obliquity parameter on the propagation characteristics of ion-acoustic waves are discussed.
