Question

when non metals react with water then​

Answer 1

Metals like aluminium, iron and zinc do not react either with cold or hot water. But they react with steam to form the metal oxide and hydrogen.

Answer 2

Answer:

Non-metals react with oxygen in the air to produce non-metal oxides. Carbon burns in air to form carbon dioxide. And this carbon dioxide then reacts with water to form carbonic acid.

So, from the above discussion we can say that non-metals don’t react directly with water but non –metals acidic oxides react with water to form acids.
