Correct Answer: Oxides of non-metals are acidic


Solution : The correct answer is Oxides of non-metals are acidic.

Non-metallic oxides are acidic because, when they combine with water, an acid dissociates to produce hydrogen ions. These acids are produced when non-metal oxides like CO 2 and SO 2 react with water. When dissolved in water, they produce an acidic solution that turns litmus solution red.
