It is caused from acid rain and the reaction of the chemical going into the atmosphere.
Sulfur dioxide
The main problem with sulfur dioxide in atmosphere is the influence for acid rain. Sulfur dioxide molecules can react with rainwater to form sulfuric acid. Additionally, as sulfur dioxide is irritant to breathe, it may cause respiratory hazards too.
If it is bonded to a metal, then it is a polyatomic ion, sulfite If it is alone, then it is sulfur dioxide
No. Sulfur dioxide is acidic.
Sulfur + Oxygen = Sulfur Dioxide
No, sulfur is an element and sulfur dioxide is a gaseous compound. Sulfur dioxide is the combustion product of sulfur in an oxygen atmosphere (S+O2 --> SO2) Where sulfur is an element, sulfur dioxide is a compound and where sulfur is an insoluble yellow solid, sulfur dioxide is a colorless soluble gas.
No. Sulfur dioxide is sulfur and oxygen. Carbon dioxide is carbon and oxygen. They are two different substances.
Burning sulfur in oxygen produces sulfur dioxide.
No. Carbon dioxide is very different from sulfur dioxide.
The similarity of sulfur molecule and the sulfur dioxide molecule is the type of bond.
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a chemical compound.
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a compound.
