why halogens ( non metals) can only react with dilute acids???

Explanation:
Non-Metals do not react with dilute acids to release H2. The reason is that a non-metal is an electron acceptor, it cannot supply electrons to the H+ ions of Acids to reduce them to H2. Thus, it cannot displace H2 from Acids. But on heating with Concentrated Acids, these form oxides or salts.
