Nitrous oxide and Sulphur dioxide

Detailed explanation-1: -Acid rain results when sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) are emitted into the atmosphere and transported by wind and air currents. The SO2 and NOX react with water, oxygen and other chemicals to form sulfuric and nitric acids. These then mix with water and other materials before falling to the ground.
Detailed explanation-2: -Acid rain is caused mainly due to the emission of sulfar dioxide and nitrogen oxides which combine with water to produce sulfuric acid and nitric acid respectively.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sulfur oxides are pollutants that contribute to the formation of acid rain, as well as particulate pollution. Some are released into Earth’s atmosphere by natural sources, but most are the result of human activities. Some sulfur oxides are gases, and some are liquids or solid particles.
