Answer:

Sulfur; nitrogen.

Explanation:

Acid precipitation results when sulfur and nitrogen compounds react with water in the atmosphere.

Generally, acid precipitation (acid rain) usually have a pH of about 5.1 or below and as such, it is very acidic nature i.e possessing a large amount of hydrogen ions.

Hence, acid precipitation (acid rain) when washed to the earth has negative or harmful effects on various living and non-living organisms such as animals, plants, cars, buildings etc.
