Sulfur.
They are also known as acidic oxides since they form acidic solutions in water.

Sulphur dioxide and no2
Non metal oxides tend to react with water to form acidic solutions.
Unpolluted rain should be neutral but many pollutants are acidic (oxides, dioxides and trioxides of Sulphur and Nitrogen in particular). These can become dissolved in rainwater it cause it to become acidic.

Acidic oxides are oxygen-containing compounds that dissolve in water to form acidic solutions. A typical example is sulfur trioxide, which dissolves to form sulfuric acid.
These oxides are called amphoteric because they can dissolve in acidic solutions to form metal cations in the solutions but can also dissolve in strongly alkaline aqueous solution to form oxyanions of the metals: aluminate or zincate.
Yes, certain metal oxides, mostly from the middle groups of the transition metals are acidic. Chromium and rhenium, for example, both form oxides which are acidic in water.
The teo most common pollutants that mix with water in the air are sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) These pollutants create acids with water. The combination is known as Acid Rain or Acid Precipitation.
The acid in acid rain results from carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides dissolving in the water droplets. All rain is slightly acidic from the carbon dioxide content, but the industrial pollutants (sulfur and nitrogen oxides) lower the pH further.
No. A number of metal oxides are basic.
No, metal oxides are basic in nature.
