Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a specific compound composed of one sulfur atom and two oxygen atoms. Sulfur oxide is a more general term that can refer to a variety of compounds containing sulfur and oxygen, including sulfur dioxide.
Both oxygen and sulfur have the same number of electron shells, which is two.
The chemical formula of sulfur dioxide is SO2 (not mono and di in the same name !).
No, carbon dioxide (CO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) are different compounds with different chemical structures and properties. Carbon dioxide is a colorless gas that is naturally present in the Earth's atmosphere and is a byproduct of respiration and combustion. Sulfur dioxide, on the other hand, is a colorless gas with a pungent odor that is produced from the combustion of sulfur-containing fuels and volcanic eruptions.
No, sulfur dioxide (SO2) is not the same as a sulfite. Sulfur dioxide is a gas while sulfite is a chemical compound that contains the sulfite ion (SO3^2-). Sulfur dioxide can react with water to form sulfite ions.
Yes: An oxide ion has a charge of -2. Two of them have a combined charge of -4, which is exactly neutralized by a manganese (IV) cation.
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.
Yes, atoms of sulfur are identical.
Although there are many potential sources of sulphur dioxide the primary concern is the comes from burning fossil fuels (coal and oil). The are referred to as "sour" fuels. Sulfur dioxide has the formula SO2. It is formed by burning sulfur, which is an impurity in coal and crude oil, with oxygen in the air.In Industry:The burning of sulphur containing fuels (Bunker, coal, sour gas)The flaring of sour gas either at gas wells or at refineriesThe processing of sulphidic ores (pyrites)Fires at sulphur blocks (a storage system for bulk sulphur)In Nature:VolcanoesIn the lab:Burning of sulfur
No, sulfur dioxide is a gas with the formula SO2 Sulfite is an ion with the formula (SO32-). It occurs along side some sort of positive ion to balance its negative charge. These compounds, called sulfites, can form when sulfur dioxide, an acidic oxide, reacts with basic oxides. Most metal oxides are basic.
Both oxygen and sulfur have the same number of electron shells, which is two.
The chemical formula of sulfur dioxide is SO2 (not mono and di in the same name !).
carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur,selenium, and phosphorus are all in the same group
Sulphur bind with oxygen and helium to make SO2 and H2S which are foul-smelling, toxic compunds. It burns to create sulphur dioxide which is an irritating gas that causes breathing problems. Sulphur also makes acid rain whicch corrodes buildings.
They don't. Sulphur has about twice the atomic mass of oxygen.
Sulfur or sulphur) is the element (S). Sulfites (also sulphites) are compounds that contain the sulfite ion (SO2−3)
Volcanic eruptions are a natural source of sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and ash in the atmosphere. During an eruption, gases such as sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide are released from the magma, along with ash which is a mixture of fine rock particles and gases.
No, carbon dioxide (CO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) are different compounds with different chemical structures and properties. Carbon dioxide is a colorless gas that is naturally present in the Earth's atmosphere and is a byproduct of respiration and combustion.
