Chlorine easily combines with many metals to form compounds with the higher oxidation state for the metal. Furthermore, it combines with many non metals including phosphorus and sulfur.
Sulfur and hydrogen form organic compounds, plutonium not.
Sulfur can form ionic compounds (eg SO2), but Xenon is a noble gas and does not react to form compounds.
When fossil fuels are burned, including coal, they produce numerous gases. The two that most contribute to acid rain are nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides. Coal has quite a significant nitrogen content (often around 1.5% by weight), and when burned it reacts with oxygen in the air under high heat (typically more than 1500 degrees F) to form nitrogen oxides. Coal can contain up to 10% sulfur by weight, although values of 1-4% are more typical depending on the region where the coal was extracted which when the sulfur is oxidized, produces sulfur dioxide SO2. In a nutshell: Air contains nitrogen, and coal some nitrogen and sulfur, when burned makes nitrous oxide, nitric oxide, sulfur dioxide, and sulfur trioxide. In the atmosphere SO3 combines with H2O to build H2SO4 which is sulfuric acid. Sulfur dioxide makes sulfurous acid, and Nitrogen oxides combine to make a variety of nitrogen acid compounds. Carbon dioxide and monoxide as well combines with moisture in the air, to a lesser extent, to make carbonic and carbolic acids.
Sulphur combines with oxygen to form sulphur dioxide. S + O2 -> SO2
Carbon combines with sulfur and nitrogen in order to form acid precipitation.
The compounds in the system nitrogen-sulfur are not ionic.
sulfites
acidic gases - e.g. oxides of non-metals - so oxides of sulfur and nitrogen will form acids
Chlorine easily combines with many metals to form compounds with the higher oxidation state for the metal. Furthermore, it combines with many non metals including phosphorus and sulfur.
Sulfur can form both ionic and covalent compounds. For example, sulfur dioxide is a covalent compound whereas sulfides of metals are ionic compounds.
Plutonium combines with oxygen, carbon, and fluorine to form compounds which are used in the nuclear industry, either directly or as intermediates.Plutonium is a reactive metal and can react with the majority of other chemical elements: hydrogen, oxygen, halogens, carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, selenium, boron, phosphorous, silicon, etc
Sulfur and hydrogen form organic compounds, plutonium not.
Sulfur can form ionic compounds (eg SO2), but Xenon is a noble gas and does not react to form compounds.
They could be formed by the oxidation / combustion of sulfur and nitrogen respectively
Carbon can form with oxygen, sulfur, hydrogen, nitrogen, and phosphorous easiest, though it forms many other compounds.
The burning of fossil fuels containing sulfur compounds results in the production of sulfur dioxide. Sulfur dioxide combines with water in the atmosphere to produce sulfuric acid in the form of acid rain. Sulfur dioxide harmful to anyone who breathes it, and acid rain causes damage to property and natural systems such as rivers and forests.
