As a 'rule of thumb' oxides of metals are BASIC , and form Alkalis , when dissovled in water.
Oxides of non-metals are ACIDIC . and form acids when dissolved in water.
What else can I help you with?
Are metals oxides acidic?
Most metal oxides are basic in nature because they tend to react with water to form metal hydroxides, which are alkaline solutions. However, some metal oxides can exhibit acidic properties when dissolved in water, such as oxides of non-metals like sulfur.
Is carbon dioxide an acidic gas?
Yes it is. All the oxides of non-metals are acidic and oxides of metals are basic
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).
What plus oxygen forms a acidic oxide?
Most of the non-metals combine with oxygen to form acidic oxides.
What element forms acidic oxides?
non metals

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).
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.
What element forms acidic oxides?
non metals
Why metallic oxides are basic and non metallic oxides are acidic?
Metallic oxides contain a metal element that tends to lose electrons, leading to the formation of hydroxide ions in water, making the oxide basic. Non-metallic oxides contain a non-metal element that tends to gain electrons, forming acidic compounds when dissolved in water. This difference in electron behavior influences the acidity/basicity of the oxides.
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 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 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.
