Question

Explain the reaction of non-metal with oxygen with the help of activity
​

Answer 1

Hey buddy ❤️❤️

Answer:

❤️❤️

Remember that metals react with oxygen in the air to produce metal oxides, like magnesium oxide.

Non-metals react with oxygen in the air to produce non-metal oxides. Here are two examples for the non-metals carbon and sulphur.

 

Carbon burns in air to form carbon dioxide:

carbon + oxygen → carbon dioxide

 

Sulphur burns in air to form sulphur dioxide:

sulphur + oxygen → sulphur dioxide

 

Non-metal oxides such as sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide are responsible for acid rain. They dissolve in the water in the clouds to form acidic solutions. Acid rain damages rocks and buildings, and harms wildlife.

Hope it helps you ✌️✌️❤️❤️
