Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.

Non-metals do not typically react with acids due to the fact that when a substance reacts with acids it gives electrons to the H+ ions produced with the aid of using the acids. Non-metals are acceptors of electrons and hence, they cannot donate electrons.

The correct statement is, “Non-metals generally don't react with acids”.
