Question

with the help of an example, explain the reaction of non-metals with oxygen ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The non-metal and oxygen gas (O2) are the reactants in this type of reaction, and a non-metal oxide is the product. The reactions of carbon and sulfur with oxygen are examples of non-metals reacting with oxygen. Carbon and sulfur both form dioxides with oxygen, but this is not true of all non-metals.

example:

carbon + oxygen → carbon dioxide

Answer 2

Explanation:

Non metal react with oxygen to form non metal oxides. Non metal oxides are acidic in nature. They turn blue lithmus to red. Sulphurous acid turns blue lithmus to red showing that it is an acid.
