Sulphur exists as S8 and oxygen as O2.
Therefore there is more atoms around an S atom so they are tightly held due to
high London forces and is solid ,whereas O2 has only two atoms so there is low London forces and is gas.

Is a fizzy can is solid liquid or a gas?
Gas it is cabon dioxide.....di means 2 so one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms make one carbon dioxide molecule
How sulphur di oxide converts into sulphur tri oxide?
Sulfur dioxide is converted to Sulfur trioxide using Oxygen and a oxidizing catalyst like Vanadium(V) oxide:SO2 + O2 --V2O5--> SO3
What gas's dissolve in water to form an acidic solution?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) are two. Gases don't really "dissolve" in water, but are said to be soluble.All solutions are characterized by interactions between the solvent phase and solute molecules or ions that result in a net decrease in free energy. The more the decrease in energy, the more is the solubility. When a gas can form a bond with water molecules like hydrogen chloride or ammonia, the solubility is high. When it can form a compound with a definite molecular formula like carbo dioxide or sulphur di/tri oxide the solubility is moderate. If neither of the above occurs as in the case of oxygen or hydrogen, the solubility is low.There are some more gases tat are soluble in water that are-ArgonMethaneEthyleneEthaneCarbon-mono-oxideCarbon-di-oxideChlorine GasHydrogen GasHydrogen SulfideHeliumNitrogenAmmoniaSulfur Oxide
What is the difference between fusion and sublimation?
the simplest answer is condensation is the transformation of a gas to a liquid, by losing energy, and sublimation is the transformation of a solid to a gas, by gaining energy.
What does di mean in chemistry?
It means two. An example is carbon dioxide which is a molecule with one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
what are the elements to make sulfur dioxide?
Sulphur dioxide is made up of two(2) elements. They are Sulphur and Oxygen. They are both found in the Periodic Table. Their chemical combination is one sulphur(S) and two oxygens(O). Its chemical formula is 'SO2'. Their structural arrangement is 'O=S=O', That is each oxygen has a 'double bond to the sulphur. As the name suggests , it is ONE sulphur and TWO (oxygens ( di-oxide). It combines with water to form sulphurous acid (Note the spelling) H2SO3. NB For information there is also another sulphur/oxygen gas, viz. sulphur trioxide (SO3). This gas dissolves in water to form sulphuric acid (H2SO4) The chemical reaction equation is SO3 + H2O = H2SO4 .

What are the elements of sulphur?
The compound name says it all - sulfur, and oxygen. The prefix "di" means "two", so there is one atom of sulfur and two of oxygen.
What happens when sulfur burns in oxygen?
yes,sulphur reacts with oxygen forming sulphur dioxide. s+o2------->so2
How sulphur di oxide converts into sulphur tri oxide?
Sulfur dioxide is converted to Sulfur trioxide using Oxygen and a oxidizing catalyst like Vanadium(V) oxide:SO2 + O2 --V2O5--> SO3
What term describes the 2 in the O2 oxygen gas formula?
It describes the di-atomic (di = 2) character of the oxygen molecule (O2) as found in gas. This indicates the build up of the oxygen molecule (O2) consting of two bonded oxygen atoms (O atoms)
There is more of this gas in a forest than in a desert?
Oxygen, since that is the gas trees excrete anfter taking in carbon di-oxide.
What is Brown's Gas?
The current theory of Brown's Gas states that Brown's Gas is a mixture of di-atomic and mon-atomic hydrogen and oxygen. A: Brown's Gas (Oxyhydrogen) is a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen used in welding. It is not coloured.
What are the gasses from volcanoes?
i think h2o, sulphur di oxide.
Corrosion of taj mahal is due to?
sulphur di oxide
What are gaseous pollutants?
the gaseous pollutants are ,sulphur di oxide, co, no,,benzene,carbon di oxide ect.
Is sulphur dioxide a molecule?
A Molecule consists of one or more atoms so yes, sulphur di oxide is a molecule.
