Qᴜᴇsᴛɪᴏɴ-

Oxides of Non-Metals are Acidic. why ?

Aɴsᴡᴇʀ-

Most nonmetal oxides are acidic, but not all. ... Such a molecule readily loses a proton from one of its hydroxy groups because the resulting anion is highly stabilized by the oxygen atoms and the electronegative nonmetal atom. Therefore, it's acidic. Such a compound is called an oxyacid.
