What else can I help you with?
Are oxides of non -metals acidic or basic and why?
Oxides of non-metals are typically acidic because they react with water to form acidic solutions. This is due to the presence of non-metallic elements which have a tendency to gain electrons and form acidic compounds when combined with oxygen.
What is formed when non metals react with oxygen?
Non-metals typically form oxides when they react with oxygen. The resulting compounds are often acidic in nature.
What type of oxides are formed when non metals combine with oxygen?
Non-metals typically form acidic oxides when they combine with oxygen. These acidic oxides can react with water to form acids. Examples include carbon dioxide (CO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2).
Is carbon dioxide an acidic gas?
Yes it is. All the oxides of non-metals are acidic and oxides of metals are basic
What plus oxygen forms a acidic oxide?
Most of the non-metals combine with oxygen to form acidic oxides.

What are properties on non metals and examples?
non metals give acidic oxides e.g S,Cetc
Is sulfur dioxide acidic?
This is because sulphur dioxide is an acidic oxide. Acidic oxides are formed from non-metals.

What plus oxygen forms a acidic oxide?
Most of the non-metals combine with oxygen to form acidic oxides.
Chemical property of non metals?
Non metals are elements that are not metals such as iron, and silver. They usually have four to eight electrons in their outer shell, gain or share valence electrons easily and form oxides that are acidic.
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.
How are semi metals related to metals and non metals?
They have properties of metals and non-metals, and also have properties that are around '1/2' of both. An example is silicon, which has a high melting point and is solid (metallic properties). However it is very brittle and it forms an acidic oxide (non-metal). It is a semi-conductor.
What element forms acidic oxides?
non metals
How do you differentiate metals from non metals?
Metals usually have a characteristic lustre, so you can often tell just by looking. The metals conduct electricity when solid, and non-metals, with the exception of graphite, do not. Metals react with oxygen to give basic oxides, whereas non-metals give acidic oxides.
