Expert Answer
Oxides of non-metals are generally of acidic nature. For example, when sulphur burns in air it reacts with oxygen of air to form an acidic oxide called sulphur dioxide. This oxide of sulphur is acidic as when it is dissolved in water then it forms an acid called sulphurous (H2SO3) acid.
SO2 + H2O H2SO3
Therefore we can say that oxides of non-metals are acidic in nature as they form acids when they are dissolved in water.
