Explain the oxygen ends up as part of the nonmetal species

Reference no: EM13655972

While metal oxides react with water, the oxygen usually ends up as the hydroxide ion, separate from the metal. On the contrary when nonmetallic oxides react with water, the oxygen ends up as part of the nonmetal species. (For instance, upon reaction of CO₂ with water, the oxygen remains on the carbon in H₂CO₃.)
