==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
'''Acid rain''' is [[rain]] with a [[pH]] less than 7.
===About Acid Rain===
: '''Acid rain''' is formed when certain [[gas]]es [[dissolve]] in the rain to make it [[acid]]ic:
:*[[Sulphur Dioxide]] [[dissolve]]s to form [[Sulphurous Acid]]
:*[[Nitrous Oxide]]s [[dissolve]] to form [[Nitric Acid]]
:*[[Carbon Dioxide]] [[dissolve]]s to form [[Carbonic Acid]]
: '''Acid rain''' [[corrosion|corrode]]s buildings and statues made of [[limestone]] due to a [[neutralisation]] [[chemical Reaction|reaction]].
: '''Acid rain''' can damage [[plant]] growth because it makes the soil more [[acid]]ic.
==Key Stage 4==
