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. Non-metal oxides such as sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide are responsible for acid rain.Metal oxides;
They are usually solid at room temperature.
They are basic in nature
If they dissolve they form alkalinw solutions.

Non metal oxide;
Usually gaseous at room temperature.
Are acidic in nature.
Dissolve in water to form aciduc solutions.
