When non-metals combine with oxygen, they typically form acidic oxides. These oxides react with water to produce acidic solutions. Examples include:
1.Carbon Dioxide (CO2):Formed by carbon combining with oxygen. It dissolves in water to produce carbonic acid, which is weakly acidic.
2. Sulfur Dioxide (SO2):Formed by sulfur combining with oxygen. It dissolves in water to produce sulfurous acid, which is also acidic.
3.Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2): Formed by nitrogen combining with oxygen. It dissolves in water to produce nitric acid, which is a strong acid.
These acidic oxides contribute to acid rain when they dissolve in atmospheric moisture, leading to environmental concerns.
