No, elemental sulfur (S) is not acidic, mainly because it is insoluble with water.

However both sulfur oxides: SO2 and SO3 are acid forming oxides (weak and strong respectively), like most nonmetal oxides are in nature.

Is sulfur dioxide amphoteric?

No, sulfur dioxide is not amphoteric. It is a acidic oxide that reacts with water to form sulfurous acid.


Is sulfur trioxide a base?

No, sulfur trioxide is not a base. It is an acidic oxide that reacts with water to form sulfuric acid.


Is an acidic gas given off when you burn sulfur?

Yes, burning sulfur releases sulfur dioxide or SO2.


Is sulfur oxide acidic?

Yes, both sulfur oxides are acidic: with water the give sulfurous (weak -) and sulfuric (strong -) acids


Is sulfur acidic or basic?

Sulfur tends to burn, forming sulfur dioxide, which combines with water to form sulfuric acid, so in practice, sulfur leads to acidity. But it is not in itself an acid.


Is sulfur dioxide acidic?

This is because sulphur dioxide is an acidic oxide. Acidic oxides are formed from non-metals.


Would sulfur and oxygen form a ionic molecular or acidic chemical bond?

Sulfur and oxygen are likely to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds due to their similar electronegativities. The compound formed would be acidic in nature because sulfur and oxygen can combine to form acidic oxides, such as sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide.


Is sulfur dioxide a acidic or alkaline solution?

Sulfur dioxide when added to water forms an acidic solution of sulfurous acid.


Is sulfur dioxide gas basic or acidic in nature?

Sulfur dioxide gas is acidic in nature. When dissolved in water, it forms sulfurous acid, which can lower the pH of a solution.


What burns to form acidic gas?

Burning coal produces sulphur dioxide, which is an acidic gas.


What are acidic oxides?

Acidic oxides are compounds that react with water to form acidic solutions. These oxides typically contain nonmetals, such as sulfur or nitrogen, and when they dissolve in water, they produce acidic solutions capable of neutralizing bases. Examples of acidic oxides include sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
