What are the differences between oxygen and sulfur?
oxygen is a gas. sulphur isn't
Why do the elements S and O form a covalent bond?
If the electronegativity difference between two elements is above 1.7, then ionic bond is formed between these two. If the electronegativity difference is below 1.7, then they form covalent bond. In the case of sulphur and oxygen the electronegativity difference will be below 1.7
When a hydrocarbon fuel containing sulphur impurities is burned the sulphur reacts with what to produce sulphur dioxide?
oxygen
Which has more electron affinity oxygen or sulphur?
Sulphur. Please see the link.
Is sulphur dioxide a mixture a compound or an element?
It is a compound.The chemical formula for sulphur dioxide is SO2. It is made of elements sulphur and oxygen. So it is a compound.
How do you differentiate between sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide?
The difference between sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide is that there are 2 molecules of oxygen present in sulphur dioxide (SO2) and there are 3 molecules of oxygen are present in sulphur trioxide (SO3).
What are the differences between oxygen and sulfur?
oxygen is a gas. sulphur isn't
What is the difference between Ammonia and Sulphur dioxide gas?
Ammonia is NH3 (i.e. consists of nitrogen and hydrogen as its constituents) whereas Sulphur dioxide is SO2 i.e it has sulphur and oxygen as its constituents. The chemical and physical properties are also quite different.
What is the word equation for sulfur plus oxygen?
"sulphur+oxygen->sulphur oxide."Se + O2 under pressure renders SeO2 (selenium dioxide). "Comment on the fact that the analagous reaction between sulphur and oxygen, although extremely slow, gives a product with a different stoichiometry". Part 1A Inorganic Chemistry Paper, University of Oxford, 2008.So the paper suggeststhat sulphur dioxide is not the product of direct combination of sulphur and oxygen. Why is this? Is it contaminated with some SO3?I think it's actually sulphur dioxide rather than sulphur oxide as someone else suggested. If you look at the reaction of carbon and oxygen, it doesn't produce carbon oxide, but carbon dioxide. So therefore I think if:Carbon + oxygen --> carbon dioxideThen:Sulphur + oxygen --> Sulphur dioxide
What does Sulfur plus Oxygen equal?
Sulphur + oxygen = Sulphur Oxide
Sulphar burns with oxygen to form?
When you burn sulphur with oxygen you create sulphur dioxide or sulphur trioxide.
Which Atom has the greatest mass between Lithium Sulphur oxygen and sodium?
lithium
What element contains sulphur trioxide?
Sulphur and Oxygen
Why do the elements S and O form a covalent bond?
