in nature.
​

Answer 1

$\underline{ \underline{ \Large \pmb{\sf { {Required \: Answer:}} }} }$

The non-metal oxide that is formed after a non-metal reacts with oxygen is acidic in nature.

Explanation:-

• When non-metals react with oxygen, non-metallic oxides are formed.
• Non-metallic oxides are acidic in nature.
• They turn blue litmus to red.

$\boxed{\sf {Non-Metal + O_2 \to Non-metallic \: oxide}}$

• Example : Formation of acid rain is one such example of the reaction of non-metals with oxygen.

Some other examples of chemical reaction:

$\boxed{\sf {S + O_2 \to SO_2 }}$

• Sulphur combines with oxygen to form sulphur dioxide which is the oxide of sulphur.

$\boxed{\sf {2CO + O_2 \to 2CO}}$

• Carbon dioxide combines with oxygen to form carbon monoxide which is the oxide of carbon.

Remember!

• When metals react with oxygen, metallic oxides are formed.
• Metallic oxides are basic in nature.
• They turn red litmus to blue.

$\boxed{\sf {Metal + O_2 \to Metallic \: oxide}}$
