Non-metals react with oxygen in the air to produce non-metal oxides. Here are two examples for the non-metals carbon and sulphur. Non-metal oxides such as sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide are responsible for acid rain. They dissolve in the water in the clouds to form acidic solutions.

Metal react with oxygen to form basic oxides the oxides are basic in nature.
eg. MgO , Na2O,K2O.
Non metal react with oxygen to form acidic oxide these oxides are acidic in nature. eg. CO, CO2 ,SO2,NO2.
Where as some metals react with oxygen to form amphoteric oxide ( oxides which show acidic as well basic characters ). eg. Al2O3, ZnO
eg. MgO , Na2O,K2O.
