  2. Sulfur dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_dioxide

    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.

  3. Condensation reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensation_reaction

    The addition of the two molecules typically proceeds in a step-wise fashion to the addition product, usually in equilibrium, and with loss of a water molecule (hence the name condensation). [3] The reaction may otherwise involve the functional groups of the molecule, and is a versatile class of reactions that can occur in acidic or basic ...

  4. SO2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So2

    Sulfur dioxide (SO 2), a colorless gas with a pungent smell . Sulfonyl group (R-SO 2-R), a functional group found primarily in sulfones, or a substituent; SO(2), special orthogonal group of degree 2 in mathematics

  5. Oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxide

    Nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") is a potent greenhouse gas produced by soil bacteria. Although most metal oxides are crystalline solids, many non-metal oxides are molecules. Examples of molecular oxides are carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide .

  6. Sulfur compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_compounds

    Sulfur polycations, S 8 2+, S 4 2+ and S 16 2+ are produced when sulfur is reacted with oxidising agents in a strongly acidic solution. [1] The colored solutions produced by dissolving sulfur in oleum were first reported as early as 1804 by C.F. Bucholz, but the cause of the color and the structure of the polycations involved was only ...

  7. Sulfur cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_cycle

    Sulfur can be found under several oxidation states in nature, mainly −2, −1, 0, +2 (apparent), +2.5 (apparent), +4, and +6. When two sulfur atoms are present in the same polyatomic oxyanion in an asymmetrical situation, i.e, each bound to different groups as in thiosulfate, the oxidation state calculated from the known oxidation state of accompanying atoms (H = +1, and O = −2) can be an ...

  8. Chemical reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_reaction

    Cyclic rearrangements include cycloadditions and, more generally, pericyclic reactions, wherein two or more double bond-containing molecules form a cyclic molecule. An important example of cycloaddition reaction is the Diels–Alder reaction (the so-called [4+2] cycloaddition) between a conjugated diene and a substituted alkene to form a ...

  9. Stoichiometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoichiometry

    Here, one molecule of methane reacts with two molecules of oxygen gas to yield one molecule of carbon dioxide and two molecules of water. This particular chemical equation is an example of complete combustion. Stoichiometry measures these quantitative relationships, and is used to determine the amount of products and reactants that are produced ...
