hope it helps u plz mark as brainist plz

Explanation:

Non-metals react with oxygen to form non-metal oxides. Non-metal oxides are acidic in nature. If an element forms an acidic oxide,then the element will be a non-metal. Metal oxide are basic in nature and form bases on dissolving in water.

Answer:

when Metals react with oxygen :-

Metals react with oxygen to form metallic oxides. These oxides are basic oxides because they react with water to form bases. Eg. Magnesium burns in air to form magnesium oxide. Magnesium oxide dissolves in water to form magnesium hydroxide.

2 Mg + O2--2 MgO

MgO+ H2O- Mg(OH)2

When Non Metals react with oxygen :-

Non metals react with oxygen to form non metallic oxides. These oxides are acidic oxides because they react with water to form acids.

Eg. Sulphur burns in air to form sulphurdioxide. Sulphurdioxide reacts with water to form sulphurousacid.

S + O2-SO2

SO2+ H2O--- H2SO3
