Chemical properties of non-metals:
Reaction of non-metals with diluted acids:
No reaction
Reaction of non-metals with Oxygen:
Nonmetals such as carbon (C) react with oxygen giving nonmetal
oxides, which areknown as "Acidic oxides.
C + O2 CO2
Nonmetal (acidic) oxides (such as carbon dioxide) dissolve in water
forming acids
which tum litmus solution into red.
CO2 + H2O H2CO3
Acidic oxide :-They are nonmetallic oxides, which dissolve in
water forming acidicsolutions.
