Question

Are non metallic oxide acidic in nature? justice your answes with suitable example?​

Answer 1

Answer:

hiii

Explanation:

When non-metals react with oxygen the non-metallic oxide is formed. Non-metallic oxides are acidic. They form an acidic solution when dissolved in water, turning litmus solution to red colour. Non-metal oxides like CO2and SO2 react with water and give acids.

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes non metal oxides are acidic in nature they are mostly covalent compounds with the central atom being at high oxidation states so they hydrolyse to form acids ,

eg - SO3 + H2O - H2SO4

SO2 + H2O - H2SO3

N2O5 + H2O - 2HNO3

Cl2O7 + H2O - 2HClO4

P4O10 + 6H2O - 4H3PO4

CO2 + H2O - H2CO3
