Using only the information available in the periodic table, consider the elements sulfur and oxygen. from their location on the periodic table, identify the oxidation state and number of valence electrons for sulfur and oxygen. then use this information to describe their reactivity.

which statement most accurately describes the compound formed by sulfur and oxygen?

a) sulfur dioxide, so2, is ionic, formed between sulfur and oxygen ions.

b) sulfurous oxide, so2, is ionic, formed by the ionic bonding of sulfur and oxygen.

c) sulfur monoxide, so, is covalent, formed by the sharing of electrons between sulphur and oxygen.

d) sulfur dioxide, so2, is covalent, formed by the sharing of electrons

Option D

Explanation:

In Sulphur dioxide molecule both sulphur and oxygen have 6 valence electrons

The oxidation state of Sulphur in Sulphur dioxide molecule is +4 and the oxidation state of oxygen in Sulphur dioxide molecule is -2

Both sulphur and oxygen in this molecule are non-metals and therefore there will be no ionic bond present between them

So bond formation in this molecule takes through sharing of electrons between sulphur and oxygen and due to the sharing of electrons, covalent bond formation takes place between them

As there are only covalent bonds involved, this molecule is a covalent molecule

∴ Sulphur dioxide molecule is covalent and formed by the sharing of electrons

that's just how they are

explanation:

you can't control another persons decisions, all you can do is ask that they respect yours. relationships are hard because you have to put the effort into making sure that another person feels seen, heard, and loved. as time goes on, it gets easier, you learn how to do these things without thinking. loving them becomes as easy as breathing, but every relationship will have fights, and sometimes it'll feel like you're drowning, but as long as you can talk it out and compromise, because that's truly what loving another person is, is compromise, then you'll be okay. movies and tv shows have glamorized and romanticized (pardon the pun) what a relationship would be like. real relationships aren't perfectly timed kisses in the rain, zero fights until one big one ends everything, 6 month anniversaries. real relationships are sleepy confused kisses when one person has to leave for work earlier than the other,   real relationships are having small disagreements, real relationships are messy and confusing, real relationships is knowing that even if you're relationship may not last forever and this may not be the person you're going to spend the rest of your life with, that you love them, and you would do anything to see them happy. so yes, relationships are difficult, but so are many other things, relationships can be amazing but also stressful, and not just romantic i'm also talking about platonic relationships (although the primary example here was romantic) sometimes is best to leave friendships behind, so remember, always do whats going to you be happy in the long run.
