What happens when sulphur reacts oxygen?
Sulphur reacts with oxygen to give sulphur dioxide. Which is an acidic oxide.
What is the name of sulfur and oxygen?
sulfur oxide
sulfur oxide, any of several compounds of sulfur and oxygen, the most important of which are sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfur trioxide (SO3), both of which are manufactured in huge quantities in intermediate steps of sulfuric acid manufacture.
What is s2 O2?
Disulfur dioxide. Names. Other names. disulfur(II)oxide.
What is the product formed when sulphur reacts with oxygen?
Sulphur burns in oxygen to form sulphur dioxide.
What causes Sulphur dioxide?
It is produced from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) and the smelting of mineral ores (aluminum, copper, zinc, lead, and iron) that contain sulfur. Sulfur dioxide dissolves easily in water to form sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid is a major component of acid rain.
Are oxygen and sulfur in the same period?
Just look at a periodic table, and see whether O and S are in the same column or not. Then knowing the meaning of the rows and columns of the periodic table, you can answer the question. Yes, oxygen and sulfur are in the same group, that is group XVI (5A).

What causes sulphur dioxide?
Why are Sulphur and oxygen in the same group?
Sulfur forms many compounds that are analogues of Oxygen compounds. So, Oxygen and Sulphur are kept in the same group, the reason is a similar number of electrons in the outermost shell.
What are the differences between oxygen and Sulphur?
Sulfur is less electronegative than oxygen (2.4 and 3.5, respectively) and as a consequence bonds to sulfur are less polar than the corresponding bonds to oxygen. One significant result in that with a less polar S-H bond the subsequent hydrogen bonding is weaker than observed with O-H analogs.
