Is carbon dioxide an acidic gas?
Yes it is. All the oxides of non-metals are acidic and oxides of metals are basic
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.
What type of oxides are formed when non metals combine with oxygen?
acidic oxides
Why metallic oxides are basic and non metallic oxides are acidic?
Metallic oxides are basic because they dissociate to form the hydroxyl ions while the non-metallic oxides are acidic because they dissociate to form hydrogen ions.

Why metallic oxides are basic and non metallic oxides are acidic?
Metallic oxides are basic because they dissociate to form the hydroxyl ions while the non-metallic oxides are acidic because they dissociate to form hydrogen ions.
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.
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 plus oxygen forms a acidic oxide?
Most of the non-metals combine with oxygen to form acidic oxides.
Are non metal oxides acids or bases?
Metallic oxides are basic because they dissociate to form the hydroxyl ions while the non-metallic oxides are acidic because they dissociate to form hydrogen ions.
What combines with water to produce acids?
acidic gases - e.g. oxides of non-metals - so oxides of sulfur and nitrogen will form acids
How does the acid-base nature of the oxides in the period 3 change with the increasing atomic number?
basic metal oxides change to acidic non-metal oxides
