Sulphur dioxide can dissolve in water to form an acidic solution. What type of oxide does this prove sulphur dioxide to be?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Acidic oxide

An oxide that reacts with water to produce an acidic solution is classified as an acidic oxide. Sulphur dioxide is an oxide of the non-metal sulphur; it reacts with water to form sulphurous acid: SO₂ + H₂O → H₂SO₃. This acidic product explains the observation. A basic oxide would produce a basic solution, a neutral oxide would not show this behaviour, and “metallic oxide” is not the correct chemical classification here.
