Sulfur dioxide (IUPAC-recommended spelling) or sulphur dioxide (traditional Commonwealth English) is the chemical compound with the formula S O 2.It is a colorless gas with a pungent smell that is responsible for the odor of burnt matches.
Sulfurous acid is commonly known to not exist in its free state, and due to this, it is stated in textbooks that it cannot be isolated in the water-free form. [4] However, the molecule has been detected in the gas phase in 1988 by the dissociative ionization of diethyl sulfite. [5]
Sulfur oxide refers to many types of sulfur and oxygen containing compounds such as SO, SO 2, SO 3, S 7 O 2, S 6 O 2, S 2 O 2, etc. . Sulfur oxide (SO x) refers to one or more of the following:
Glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6), ribose (C 5 H 10 O 5), Acetic acid (C 2 H 4 O 2), and formaldehyde (CH 2 O) all have different molecular formulas but the same empirical formula: CH 2 O.This is the actual molecular formula for formaldehyde, but acetic acid has double the number of atoms, ribose has five times the number of atoms, and glucose has six times the number of atoms.
Treatment of sulfur with hydrogen gives hydrogen sulfide.When dissolved in water, hydrogen sulfide is mildly acidic: [5] H 2 S ⇌ HS − + H +. Hydrogen sulfide gas and the hydrosulfide anion are extremely toxic to mammals, due to their inhibition of the oxygen-carrying capacity of hemoglobin and certain cytochromes in a manner analogous to cyanide and azide.
A space-filling model of the sulfite anion.. Sulfites or sulphites are compounds that contain the sulfite ion (systematic name: sulfate(IV) ion), SO 2− 3.The sulfite ion is the conjugate base of bisulfite.

Portion of the structure of [Ni(SO 2) 6](AsF 6) 2, showing the dication and one of two AsF 6 − anions. [2]Sulfur dioxide forms complexes with many transition metals. Most numerous are complexes with metals in oxidation state 0 or +1.
