Why is sulfur-dioxide reducing while tellurium-dioxide is oxidising agent?

S+O2->SO2 Oxidation no. of sulphur changes from 0 to +4. Due to presence of d-orbitals(vacant) sulphur can extend its covalency & show oxidation states till +6, which is stable in sulphur (eg: SF6). Hence it acts as a reducing agent. Te+O2->TeO2 Oxidation no. of Te changes from 0 to +4. Unlike sulphur Te cannot show +6 oxidation state as it is highly unstable due to inert pair effect. Therefore there can only be a decrease in it oxidation state (it can decrease to -2, +2). Hence it acts as an oxidising agent.

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
