Question

why non metals don't react with dilute acid?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Non-metals do not react with acids. This is due to the fact that a substance undergoing reaction with acids, donates electrons to the H+ ions produced by the acids. But non-metals are acceptor of electrons and hence they do not donate electron to the hydrogen ion of the acid.

Answer 2

Generally, the non-metals do not react with dilute acids. This is because when a substance reacts with acids, it provides electrons to the H+ ions produced by the acids. Non-metals are themselves acceptors of electrons so there is no way they can donate electrons to the hydrogen ion of the acid. Hence, non-metals in ge

neral do not react with dilute acids.

However, some none metals are the exceptions which react with acid and oxidized to their corresponding oxide. Like, P,S, carbon etc.

For ex: 6HNO3+ S - H2SO4+ 6NO2+ 2H2O

Non-metals will normally not react with water, however, non-metal oxides will react with water to form acids. In this example,chlorine gaswill react with water to formhydrochloric acidandhypochlorous acid.
