### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Definition of Non-Metal Oxides**: Non-metal oxides are compounds formed when non-metals react with oxygen. Examples include carbon dioxide (CO₂), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂). 2. **Nature of Non-Metal Oxides**: Non-metal oxides are generally acidic in nature. This means that when they react with water, they can form acids. 3. **Example of Carbon Dioxide**: When carbon (a non-metal) reacts with oxygen, it forms carbon dioxide (CO₂). The molecular structure of CO₂ consists of a carbon atom double-bonded to two oxygen atoms. ...
