Explain the following by giving examples. 1.) how metal oxides react with acid? 2.) how non metal reacts with base? |

Answer» lic oxides REACT with acids to give salts and water. Here metal displaces hydrogen in acid and forms a SALT. Displaced hydrogen adds with oxygen in metal oxide to form water. This is similar to neutralisation reaction so metallic oxides are basic in nature.2.Acids are non-metals. They react with BASES to form salts and water. Reactions of other non-metals with bases are actually quite complex. Non-metal oxides are usually acidic in nature and react with bases in the same way as acids (salt and water). |
