how do nonmetals react with oxygen? explain with an example. give equation of the reaction involved. what is the nature of the product formed? how will you demonstrate it ?
Answers
Explanation:
Non-metals react with oxygen to form acidic or neutral oxides. The oxide is covalent in nature as it is formed by the sharing of electrons. ... The product formed is acidic in nature. It can be demonstrated by dissolving carbon dioxide in water to form carbonic acid.
