Sulphur Oxide

Sulfur oxide refers to many types of sulfur and oxygen containing compounds such as SO, SO₂, SO₃, S₇O₂, S₆O₂, S₂O₂, etc. Sulfur oxide (SO_''x'') refers to one or more of the following: *

Lower sulfur oxides The lower sulfur oxides are a group of inorganic compounds with the formula SmOn, where 2m > n. These species are often unstable and thus rarely encountered in everyday life. They are significant intermediates in the combustion of elemental su ...

(S_''n''O, S₇O₂ and S₆O₂) *

Sulfur monoxide Sulfur monoxide is an inorganic compound with formula . It is only found as a dilute gas phase. When concentrated or condensed, it converts to S2O2 ( disulfur dioxide). It has been detected in space but is rarely encountered intact otherwise. S ...

(SO) and its dimer,

Disulfur dioxide Disulfur dioxide, dimeric sulfur monoxide or SO dimer is an oxide of sulfur with the formula S2O2. The solid is unstable with a lifetime of a few seconds at room temperature. Structure Disulfur dioxide adopts a ''cis'' planar structure with ''C'' ...

(S₂O₂) *

Sulfur dioxide Sulfur dioxide ( IUPAC-recommended spelling) or sulphur dioxide (traditional Commonwealth English) is the chemical compound with the formula . It is a toxic gas responsible for the odor of burnt matches. It is released naturally by volcanic ...

Higher sulfur oxides Higher sulfur oxides are a group of chemical compounds with the formula SO3+x where x lies between 0 and 1. They contain peroxo (O−O) groups, and the oxidation state of sulfur is +6 as in SO3. Monomeric SO4 can be isolated at low temperatures ...

Disulfur monoxide Disulfur monoxide or sulfur suboxide is an inorganic compound with formula S2O, one of the lower sulfur oxides. It is a colourless gas and condenses to give a roughly dark red coloured solid that is unstable at room temperature. occurs rarely in ...
