how is non metallic oxicides acidic in nature

So whenever a non-metal oxide dissolves in water, it forms an acid. ... Non metallic oxide react with water and give acids. when metallic oxide react with water it gives base. non metallic oxides are acidic and metallic oxides are basic in nature.

Water is made up hydroxinium ions and OH- ions. Let us consider CO2 being dissolved in water. CO2 will combine with H3O+ ion to form H2CO3 and H+ ion. Since it gives up H+ ion, it is an acid.

So whenever a non-metal oxide dissolves in water, it forms an acid.

(There are some exceptions too, like CO. CO is neutral as it doesn't release or accept H+ ions.)

Answer:

Non-metallic oxides are acidic in nature

When a non-metal reacts with oxygen it leads to the production of non -metallic oxides. Usually, non-metallic oxides are acidic in nature. It is because when they are reacted with water it leads to the formation of the acidic solution.
