Question

Jupiter’s moon Io was discovered to have high concentrations of sulfur oxides in its atmosphere. This, in combination with research into sulfur oxides relating to pollution on Earth, has led to renewed interest in sulfur oxide compounds. Scientists researching compounds present at low temperatures created disulfur dioxide. Write the chemical formula for this compound

Answer 1

S₂O₂

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplying prefix di- means "two."

Thus, a molecule of disulfur dioxide has two atoms of sulfur and two atoms of oxygen.

The formula is S₂O₂.
