Sulfur oxoacids are chemical compounds that contain
sulfur,
oxygen, and
hydrogen
Hydrogen is a chemical element; it has chemical symbol, symbol H and atomic number 1. It is the lightest and abundance of the chemical elements, most abundant chemical element in the universe, constituting about 75% of all baryon, normal matter ...
. The best known and most important industrially used is
sulfuric acid. Sulfur has several
oxoacids; however, some of these are known only from their salts (these are shown in italics in the table below). The acids that have been characterised contain a variety of structural features, for example:
*tetrahedral sulfur when coordinated to oxygen
*terminal and bridging oxygen atoms
*terminal
peroxo groups
*terminal S=S
*chains of (āSā)
