In sulphur dioxide one of the two lone pairs of sulphur is free so it is bent, while in sulphur trioxide both the lone pairs of sulphur are involved in bond formation so it is trigonal molecule.

What is the difference between sulfite and sulfur trioxide?
Sulfite is a ion, while Sulfur trioxide is a molecule
How are a sulfur molecule and a sulfur dioxide molecule different?
A sulfur molecule contains many sulfur atoms. These atoms combined together to form sulfur molecule i.e. S8.
Which oxides are acidic and which oxides are basic?
Sodium oxide, magnesium oxide, and copper oxide are basic oxides, while carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and silicon dioxide are acidic oxides.
Is sulfur dioxide a mixture or compound?
It depends a little on your definition. Concentrated Sulfuric Acid can be produced up to 98% or 98.3% pure H2SO4. So, while H2SO4 would be considered a compound, it is never pure, and is always found in a mixture. Most Sulfuric Acid used in the lab is a much more dilute mixture of Sulfuric Acid and Water. Fuming Sulfuric Acid is a mixture between Sulfuric Acid, H2SO4 and sulfur trioxide SO3.
Do ozone and SO2 have the same geometry?
No, but they are pretty close. The bond angle in ozone is 116.8°, and the bond angle in sulfur dioxide is 119°. The oxygens bonded in sulfur dioxide are bond doubly bonded, while in ozone it has two resonace forms where one of the oxygen hangs on by a single bond. The boiling point temperatures are prety close too...

How you make battery acid?
"Battery Acid" nearly always refers to Sulfuric Acid.Most sulfuric acid is made either by way of the Contact Process or (in much smaller quantities) the Wet Sulfuric Acid process.In the Contact Process sulfur is first burned burned to produce sulfur dioxide. The sulfur dioxide is then oxidized to sulfur trioxide using oxygen in the presence of a vanadium(V) oxide catalyst. The sulfur trioxide is absorbed into 97-98% sulfuric acid to form oleum (also known as fuming sulfuric acid). The oleum is then diluted with water to form concentrated sulfuric acid. Dissolving the sulfur trioxide into sulfuric acid and then diluting to GET sulfuric acid sounds strange but directly dissolving the sulfur trioxide into liquid water is so exothermic that it creates boils the water and creates an extremely corrosive aerosol that is difficult to collect rather than a liquid.In the Wet Sulfuric Acid process, sulfur contained in a fuel or hydrogen sulfide contained in the fuel is burned with the fuel creating sulfur dioxide gas. As with the Contact Process, the sulfur dioxide is reacted with oxygen over vanadium(V) oxide catalyst to produce sulfur trioxide. The next couple of steps differ from the contact process. The sulfur trioxide is hydrated with water in the gas phase to form sulfuric acid gas. This gas is then condensed to form highly concentrated sulfuric acid. One of the benefits of this is that clearing the sulfur from the exhaust gases of the burning fuel reduces air pollution while simultaneously producing a product that can be sold to offset the cost of the air pollution control measures.
Why is sulfur dioxide produced when fuels are burnt?
Fossil fuels contain sulfur in their compound, which can be oxidized to form sulfur dioxide while burning:Sufur + Oxygen --> Sulfur dioxide(or)S+O2--> SO2SO2 is a harmful and highly reactive gas, which can react with atmospheric water and may cause acid rain.

What is SO3 plus 2H2O?
To begin with, SO3 is sulfate trioxide, while SO3 -2 is called the sulfite ion. They both are molecules, consisting of the same types of elements in the same quantity. Oh My God! They really are so similar. Is there any difference at all, except the one with the charge is called sulfite, and the other with no charge is called sulfur trioxide? They are exceptionally similar. That I know. It's hard to understand the difference. Well, the difference, primarily, is that one has charge and the other hasn't. But, why? Much of the answer lies in this reason. It's a fact. The fact is that - both the molecules

Does coal burning power plants release radioactive waster?
While coal fired plants release particulates, carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide as major pollutants they also release radioactive materials which were contained in the coal as aerosols.

What does a triangular prism have that rectangular prism does not have?
a triangular prism has to triangular bases while a rectangular prism has a rectangle as the bases.
Five reasons why iron is a metal while sulfur is a non metal?
1. Iron is lustrous, while sulfur is not. Luster is a property of metals. 2. Iron conducts electricity, while sulfur does not. Electrical conductivity is a property of metals. 3. Iron conducts heat, while sulfur does not. Heat conductivity is a property of metals. 4. Iron is malleable, while sulfur is not. Malleability is a property of metals. 5. Iron is somewhat ductile, while sulfur is not. Ductility is a property of metals.
What are some differences between iron and sulfur?
Iron is silver while sulfur is yellow, Iron is magnetic while sulfur is not, and Iron looks like dirt and sulfur looks like yellow powdered sugar
