How do metal oxides differ from non-metal oxides?

Answer»

Remember that metals react with OXYGEN in the air to produce metal oxides, like magnesium OXIDE. Non-metals react with oxygen in the air to produce non-metal oxides. Here are TWO EXAMPLES for the non-metals carbon and sulphur. Non-metal oxides such as sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide are responsible for acid rain.Metal oxides;
They are usually SOLID at room temperature.
They are basic in nature
If they dissolve they form alkalinw solutions.

Non metal oxide;
Usually gaseous at room temperature.
Are acidic in nature.
Dissolve in water to form aciduc solutions.
