SO2 is neutral. Please refer to the oxidation states. Since all oxidation numbers added together in a compound must equal zero. Which means that : S+(-2*2)=0, so S has an oxidation number as +4, in which O2 has an oxidation number of -2*2 = -4. Just find out the oxidation number of the compounds each time through equation and you'll know the charge. Easy.

Formula for a compound that has three oxygen atoms and one sulfur atom?
so3
What is the correct formula for a compound that has 3 oxygen atoms and 1 sulfur atom?
SO3, Sulfer Trioxide. Or SO3(2-), Sulfite.
Determine the percent sulfur by mass in so3?
the percent sulfur by mass in so3 is 40.050%
What is no2 so2 and so3?
SO3 = sulphur dioxide O2= oxygen SO3 = sulphur trioxide SO3- = sulphite that should be it .... right? :)
What is sulfur Oxides?
Sulfur oxides are the oxides of sulfur with oxygen in -2 oxidation state. There are two main oxides of sulfur. They are sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfur trioxide (SO3).
What is the oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in (SO3)2?
If you mean SO3^-2 (the sulfite anion), then S has an oxidation number of 4+, since each O atom is 2-. In sulfur trioxide, SO3, the S atom has an oxidation number of 6+.
What is the oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in SO32 and minus?
The oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in (SO3)2- is 4.
Formula for a compound that has three oxygen atoms and one sulfur atom?
so3
What is the correct formula for a compound that has 3 oxygen atoms and 1 sulfur atom?
SO3, Sulfer Trioxide. Or SO3(2-), Sulfite.
What is the correct chemical formula for sulfur trioxide?
SO3 is the chemical formula for sulfur trioxide.
Is so3 a formula unit or molecule?
SO3 is the chemical formula for the compound sulfur trioxide. Sulfur trioxide gas is a major pollutant and a big contributor to acid rain. But SO3 may, with a 2- added to it as a superscript, represent the sulfite ion with a charge of -2.
Determine the percent sulfur by mass in so3?
the percent sulfur by mass in so3 is 40.050%
What is no2 so2 and so3?
SO3 = sulphur dioxide O2= oxygen SO3 = sulphur trioxide SO3- = sulphite that should be it .... right? :)
What is the best name for this formula SO3?
SO3 is sulfur trioxide.
What will be the element of SO3?
SO3 is the sulfate radical; it contains sulfur and oxygen.
What is sulfur Oxides?
Sulfur oxides are the oxides of sulfur with oxygen in -2 oxidation state. There are two main oxides of sulfur. They are sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfur trioxide (SO3).
What is the formula SO3?
SO3 is the chemical formula of sulfur trioxide (sulfur-IV oxide). It is a very hygroscopic, strongly acid forming oxide (extremely corrosive in humid air).
