Which option is correct?
Dear student,
Oxides of non metals are acidic in nature, oxide of metals are basic in nature.
Acid rain is due to non metal oxide (sulphur dioxide), when it reacts with water it forms sulphurous acid.
All metals do not react with hot water, for example metals like aluminium, iron and zinc do not react either with hot and cold water.
Generally metals form ionic chloride and non metals form covalent chlorides. This is because metals have a tendency to gain or lose electrons.
Hence, the correct option is (d).
