Yes, SO2 (sulfur dioxide) is a gaseous binary compound consisting of 1 sulfur atom covalently bonded to two oxygen atoms. The molecule is a bent-shaped dipole.

is SO2 a nonmetal or a metal?

SO2 is not a metal; it is a nonmetal compound.


Is SO2 metal or non metal?

it is not metallic SO2 is a non-metallic compound


Which compounds are ionic CO2 SrCl2 H2S or SO2?

Ionic compounds occur between atoms of a metal and a non-metal therefore: CO2 would not, SrCl2 would, H2S would not and SO2 would not. Only SrCl2 would be an ionic compound.

What is nature of non metal oxide?

Non-metal oxides are typically covalent compounds that form when a non-metal reacts with oxygen. They tend to be acidic in nature, as they form acids when they dissolve in water. Examples include carbon dioxide (CO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2).


What are non metal oxides?

Non-metal oxides are compounds that are formed by the combination of a non-metal element with oxygen. They are typically acidic in nature and may react with water to form acids. Examples include carbon dioxide (CO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2).


SO2 is metal or nonmetal?

SO2 is sulphur dioxide, at standard atmosphere it is a toxic gas with a pungent smell


Is SOCl2 ionic or covalent?

Sulfur and oxygen form a covalent bond. You would expect this, since they are both non-metals. To get an ionic bond you need a metal bonding with a non-metal.


How can we prove the nature of non metal sulphur oxides?

The nature of non-metal sulfur oxides can be proven through their chemical properties and behavior. Sulfur oxides, such as sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfur trioxide (SO3), are covalent compounds that exhibit typical non-metal characteristics, such as low melting and boiling points, and the ability to form acids when reacting with water (e.g., SO2 forms sulfurous acid, and SO3 forms sulfuric acid). Additionally, their electron configurations indicate they are formed by the sharing of electrons, characteristic of non-metals. Laboratory tests, such as pH measurements of their aqueous solutions, further confirm their acidic nature, reinforcing their classification as non-metals.


What is a non metal oxide?

A non metal oxide is a compound of a non metal with oxygen. metals are in the center or left hand side of the periodic table of chemical elements. non metals are to the right hand side and are separated from the metals along the aluminum/ Gallium/Germanium/antimony/polonium line. A non metal oxide is a non metallic element reacted with oxygen e.g. Water (H2O), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide


What two elements react to form sulfur dioxide?

sulfur and oxygen. they form a covalent compound (meaning it consists of two non metal elements) and therefore use the binary naming system. the formula is SO2
