Sulfur dioxide, at room temperature is a gas, so, I guess it is "softer". Silicon Dioxide is a solid at room temperature, and is 8 (very hard)on the Moh's hardness scale. If powdered, though, it "feels" soft. But it still will scratch many substances--plastics, marble, etc. It makes a good polishing compound.
