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.

Which oxides are acidic and which oxides are basic?
Sodium oxide, magnesium oxide, and copper oxide are basic oxides, while carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and silicon dioxide are acidic oxides.
What is the chemical compound name for SO2?
If it is bonded to a metal, then it is a polyatomic ion, sulfite If it is alone, then it is sulfur dioxide
How do you separate sand from sulfur?
Sulfur melts at a much lower temperature than sand. That might be useful. Also, there are solvents which will dissolve sulfur but not silicon dioxide. Finally, there's always the magnifying glass and tweezers method.
What are the elements found in sand?
Silicon and oxygen, in this form. SiO2 Silicon dioxide.
Is sulfur dioxide amphoteric?
No. Sulfur dioxide is acidic.
What is the difference between quartz and sulfur?
Quartz is the compound silicon dioxide (SiO2) and contains atoms of silicon and oxygen. It is usually clear. Sulfur is a simple element composed of sulfur atoms. It is opaque and yellow.
Which oxides are acidic and which oxides are basic?
Sodium oxide, magnesium oxide, and copper oxide are basic oxides, while carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and silicon dioxide are acidic oxides.
What is the chemical compound name for SO2?
If it is bonded to a metal, then it is a polyatomic ion, sulfite If it is alone, then it is sulfur dioxide
Is silicon dioxide a atom?
No, silicon dioxide is a molecule.

Is silicon dioxide a compound or a mixture?
Silicon dioxide is a compound.
What are the elements found in sand?
Silicon and oxygen, in this form. SiO2 Silicon dioxide.
Is sulfur dioxide amphoteric?
No. Sulfur dioxide is acidic.
How do you make sulfur dioxide on alchemy classic?
Sulfur + Oxygen = Sulfur Dioxide
Is sulphur dioxide the same as sulphur?
No, sulfur is an element and sulfur dioxide is a gaseous compound. Sulfur dioxide is the combustion product of sulfur in an oxygen atmosphere (S+O2 --> SO2) Where sulfur is an element, sulfur dioxide is a compound and where sulfur is an insoluble yellow solid, sulfur dioxide is a colorless soluble gas.
Which one is mixture carbon dioxide silicon silicon dioxide or sand?
Which one is mixture carbon dioxide = compound silicon = element silicon dioxide = compound or sand = mixture so sand is the answer.
Is Silicon dioxide Atom Element Compound Mixture?
Silicon dioxide is a compound of the elements silicon and oxygen. Its chemical formula is SiO2. Impure Silicon dioxide is very common ; it is the sand on a beach.
