What combines with water to produce acids?
acidic gases - e.g. oxides of non-metals - so oxides of sulfur and nitrogen will form acids
Are non metals oxide or bases?
Most of the non-metallic oxides are acidic in nature as CO2, SO3 and P2O5 but some non-metallic oxides are neutral as oxides of nitrogen.
What do you understand by basic oxides?
Basic oxides are those which form bases in water as CaO, [CaO + H2O ----> Ca(OH)2 ], the oxides of Alkali and Alkaline earth metals are basic in nature.
What does the nature of non metallic oxides?
Non-metallic oxides are acidic. Some are gases and readily dissolve in water. Others react with bases, such as silica, SiO2 and B2O3
Are oxides soluble?
All oxides are generally insoluble except for oxides of group I metals (alkali earth metals).
Are metals oxides acidic?

What is a base and is blue on the PH scale?
