"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 dioxide
Then:
Sulphur + oxygen --> Sulphur dioxide

or
sulphur + oxygen --> sulphur trioxide
it depends on the conditions.

In the word equation copper sulphide oxygen copper sulfur dioxide name one reactant in the reaction?
copper + sulphur = copper sulphide! it's been a while since I've done chemestry, so bear with me. the reaction works out as CuS + O2 = Cu + SO2 , if i read your word equation correctly, which would make the reactants copper sulphide and oxygen.
