What is cholrine bonding partner?

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.


Does sulfur hydrogen and plutonium have organic compounds?

Sulfur and hydrogen form organic compounds, plutonium not.


Is Sulfur and xenon form ionic compound or not?

Sulfur can form ionic compounds (eg SO2), but Xenon is a noble gas and does not react to form compounds.


What is in coal that leads to acid rain?

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.


What happen to sulfur during combustion of sulfur?

Sulphur combines with oxygen to form sulphur dioxide. S + O2 -> SO2

What other atoms does carbon bond with?

Carbon can form with oxygen, sulfur, hydrogen, nitrogen, and phosphorous easiest, though it forms many other compounds.


Why are sulfur and its compounds being removed from natural gas and petroleum before they are burned?

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.
