Sulfur oxide
Encyclopedia
Sulfur oxide refers to one or more of the following:
- Lower sulfur oxidesLower sulfur oxidesThe lower sulfur oxides are a group of chemical compounds consisting of :*SO, sulfur monoxide and its dimer S2O2*S2O*sulfur monoxides, SnO, based on cyclic Sn rings where n is 5-10*S7O2*polymeric oxides, polysulfuroxides sometimes termed PSO's...
(SnO, S7O2 and S6O2) - Sulfur monoxideSulfur monoxideSulfur monoxide is an inorganic compound with formula . It is only found as a dilute gas phase. When concentrated or condensed, it converts to S2O2 . It has been detected in space but is rarely encountered intact otherwise.-Structure and bonding:The SO molecule has a triplet ground state similar...
(SO) - Sulfur dioxideSulfur dioxideSulfur dioxide is the chemical compound with the formula . It is released by volcanoes and in various industrial processes. Since coal and petroleum often contain sulfur compounds, their combustion generates sulfur dioxide unless the sulfur compounds are removed before burning the fuel...
(SO2) - Sulfur trioxideSulfur trioxideSulfur trioxide is the chemical compound with the formula SO3. In the gaseous form, this species is a significant pollutant, being the primary agent in acid rain. It is prepared on massive scales as a precursor to sulfuric acid.-Structure and bonding:Gaseous SO3 is a trigonal planar molecule of...
(SO3) - Higher sulfur oxidesHigher sulfur oxidesHigher sulfur oxides are a group of chemical compounds with the formula SO3+x where x lies between 0 and 1. They contain peroxo groups and the oxidation state of sulfur is +6 as in SO3....
