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.

None - unless they're in the oxide form.


When hydrogen is passed over copper oxide copper and water are formed what is the balanced equation for this and which of the chemicals are elements compounds reactants products metals and non-metals?

Assuming it's copper(II) oxide, the equation for that reaction is: CuO + H2 --> H2O + Cu. Reactants: copper oxide and hydrogen gas. Products: Water and copper. Elements present: hydrogen, copper. Compounds present: copper oxide, water. Metals: copper. Non-metals: hydrogen.

What metals are non conductive?

All metals conduct electricty. Just that some do so better than others. But, some metals quickly develop a non-conductive oxide coating, and this coating can be a poor conductor.


Is NO2 a metal or non-metal oxide?

NO2 is a non-metal oxide. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is composed of nitrogen and oxygen, both of which are non-metals on the periodic table. Non-metal oxides typically form acidic solutions when dissolved in water, as they react with water to produce acids. In contrast, metal oxides tend to form basic solutions when dissolved in water.


Is CUO covalent or ionic?

Covalent bonds are between non-metals only. Ionic bonds are between non-metals and metals. Copper is a metal and oxygen is a non-metal; therefore, Copper II oxide is ionically bonded.


Is sulfur dioxide acidic?

This is because sulphur dioxide is an acidic oxide. Acidic oxides are formed from non-metals.


An element x on burning in air forms an oxide which when dissolved in water turns blue litmus red idetify if x is metal or non - metal?

as blue litmus turns red the compound is an acid. Non metal oxides are acidic in nature. Thus the the element 'X' is a non metal.


What is a non metal oxide?

A non metal oxide is a compound of a non metal with oxygen. metals are in the center or left hand side of the periodic table of chemical elements. non metals are to the right hand side and are separated from the metals along the aluminum/ Gallium/Germanium/antimony/polonium line. A non metal oxide is a non metallic element reacted with oxygen e.g. Water (H2O), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide


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.


Does silver reacts with oxygen?

Yes it does in what is called an ionic reaction, where the silver gives of electrons to oxygen, the result beeing silver oxide (Ag2O). All metals react with non-metals in this way. NaCl is probebly the most famouse of these ionic reactions as the result is normal table salt, but it is in no sense unique. Also some metals will react more readely with the non-metals.

Can metals and non metals form covalent bonds?

Metals typically do not form covalent bonds, as they tend to lose electrons to form positive ions. Non-metals, on the other hand, can form covalent bonds by sharing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. In some cases, metals and non-metals can form covalent bonds if the non-metal behaves like a metalloid and shares electrons with the metal.
