The molecule SO 3 is trigonal planar.As predicted by VSEPR theory, its structure belongs to the D 3h point group.The sulfur atom has an oxidation state of +6 and may be assigned a formal charge value as low as 0 (if all three sulfur-oxygen bonds are assumed to be double bonds) or as high as +2 (if the Octet Rule is assumed). [7]
SO3 may refer to Sulfur trioxide, SO 3, a chemical compound of sulfur and the anhydride of sulfuric acid; Sulfite, SO 2− 3, a chemical ion composed of sulfur and oxygen with a 2− charge; SO(3), the special orthogonal group in 3 dimensions; the rotations that can be given an object in 3-space
Oleums can be described by the formula ySO 3 ·H 2 O where y is the total molar mass of sulfur trioxide content. The value of y can be varied, to include different oleums. They can also be described by the formula H 2 SO 4 ·xSO 3 where x is now defined as the molar free sulfur trioxide content.
The structure of the sulfite anion can be described with three equivalent resonance structures. In each resonance structure, the sulfur atom is double-bonded to one oxygen atom with a formal charge of zero (neutral), and sulfur is singly bonded to the other two oxygen atoms, which each carry a formal charge of −1, together accounting for the ...
The S 3 molecule, known as trisulfur, sulfur trimer, thiozone, or triatomic sulfur, is a cherry-red allotrope of sulfur. It comprises about 10% of vaporised sulfur at 713 K (440 °C; 824 °F) and 1,333 Pa (10.00 mmHg; 0.1933 psi). It has been observed at cryogenic temperatures as a solid. Under ordinary conditions it converts to cyclooctasulfur.
General structure of a sulfonic acid with the functional group indicated in blue. In organic chemistry, sulfonic acid (or sulphonic acid) refers to a member of the class of organosulfur compounds with the general formula R−S(=O) 2 −OH, where R is an organic alkyl or aryl group and the S(=O) 2 (OH) group a sulfonyl hydroxide. [1]
In this model, the structure obeys the octet rule and the charge distribution is in agreement with the electronegativity of the atoms. The discrepancy between the S−O bond length in the sulfate ion and the S−OH bond length in sulfuric acid is explained by donation of p-orbital electrons from the terminal S=O bonds in sulfuric acid into the ...
The SO molecule has a triplet ground state similar to O 2 and S 2, that is, each molecule has two unpaired electrons. [2] The S−O bond length of 148.1 pm is similar to that found in lower sulfur oxides (e.g. S 8 O, S−O = 148 pm) but is longer than the S−O bond in gaseous S 2 O (146 pm), SO 2 (143.1 pm) and SO 3 (142 pm).
