Question
How do nonmetals react with oxygen?
✓
Answer
Nonmetals combine with oxygen to form acidic oxides. In some cases, neutral oxides are formed.
$
\begin{aligned}
& C _{( s )}+ O _{2( g )} \stackrel{\text { Complete Combustion }}{\longrightarrow} CO _{2( g )} \text { (Acidic) } \\
& \text { Carbon dioxide } \\
& S _{( s )}+ O _{2( g )} \stackrel{\text { Combustion }}{\longrightarrow} SO _{2( g )} \text { (Acidic) } \\
& \text { Sulphur dioxide } \\
& 2 C _{( s )}+ O _{2( g )} \stackrel{\text { Partial Combustion }}{\longrightarrow} 2 CO \text { (Neutral) } \\
&
\end{aligned}
