Non metals react with oxygen to form acidic oxides or neutral oxides. For example S+ O2 = SO2 which is an acidic oxide. Which when react with water form sulphuric acid. Similarly when Carbon react with with one molecule of Oxygen i.e. C+O = CO (carbon monoxide) which is a neutral oxide.
While carbon dioxide also forms by the reaction of Carbon and two molecules of Oxygen which is an acidic oxide.
