Because sulfur forms unusually strong S-S single bonds, it is better at catenation than any element except carbon. As a result, the orthorhombic and monoclinic forms of sulfur are not the only allotropes of the element.
Allotropes of sulfur also exist that differ in the size of the molecules that form the crystal. Cyclic molecules that contain 6, 7, 8, 10, and 12 sulfur atoms are known. Sulfur melts at If this liquid is heated to o C, it turns into a dark red liquid that cannot be poured from its container. The viscosity of this dark red liquid is times greater than that of molten sulfur because the cyclic S 8 molecules open up and link together to form long chains of as many as , sulfur atoms.
This is not the only product that can be obtained, however. A variety of polysulfide ions with a charge of -2 can be produced that differ in the number of sulfur atoms in the chain. Because sulfur is much less electronegative than oxygen, it is more likely to form compounds in which it has a positive oxidation number see table below.
In theory, sulfur can react with oxygen to form either SO 2 or SO 3 , whose Lewis structures are given in the figure below. In practice, combustion of sulfur compounds gives SO 2 , regardless of whether sulfur or a compound of sulfur is burned.
Although the SO 2 formed in these reactions should react with O 2 to form SO 3 , the rate of this reaction is very slow. The rate of the conversion of SO 2 into SO 3 can be greatly increased by adding an appropriate catalyst. Enormous quantities of SO 2 are produced by industry each year and then converted to SO 3 , which can be used to produce sulfuric acid, H 2 SO 4.
In theory, sulfuric acid can be made by dissolving SO 3 gas in water. In practice, this is not convenient. Sulfuric acid is by far the most important industrial chemical. It has even been argued that there is a direct relationship between the amount of sulfuric acid a country consumes and its standard of living.
The rest is used to make paper, synthetic fibers and textiles, insecticides, detergents, feed additives, dyes, drugs, antifreeze, paints and enamels, linoleum, synthetic rubber, printing inks, cellophane, photographic film, explosives, automobile batteries, and metals such as magnesium, aluminum, iron, and steel. Sulfuric acid dissociates in water to give the HSO 4 - ion, which is known as the hydrogen sulfate, or bisulfate, ion.
Sulfuric acid and sulfurous acid are both examples of a class of compounds known as oxyacids , because they are literally acids that contain oxygen. Because they are negative ions or anions that contain oxygen, the SO 3 2- and SO 4 2- ions are known as oxyanions.
The Lewis structures of some of the oxides of sulfur that form oxyacids or oxyanions are given in the table below. One of these oxyanions deserves special mention. This ion, which is known as the thiosulfate ion, is formed by the reaction between sulfur and the sulfite SO 3 2- ion. Electron sea. Correct answer: Sharing electrons between atoms.
Explanation : To achieve an octet of valence electrons, atoms can share electrons so that all atoms participating in the bond will have full valence shells. Report an Error. Possible Answers:. Correct answer:. Explanation : The key to this problem is that electrons in covalent bonds are shared and therefore "belong" to both of the bonded atoms. Possible Answers: Spin pairing of electrons. Electron pair shared between two neighboring atoms. Constructive interference between atomic orbitals.
Correct answer: All of these. Explanation : A chemical bond is considered covalent if there is sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between atoms. Copyright Notice.
