Oxoacids of sulphur preparation and properties, Group 16 P Block Elements

Oxoacids of Sulphur :

Sulphur forms various oroacide like H2SO3, H2S2O3, H2S2O4, H2S2O5, H2SO4, H2SO5 etc. Some of these acids are unstable and cannot be isolated in free state. They are known in aqueous solution or in the form of their alts The wtructures of these oxyacids are given below.

Sulphurous acid (H2SO3): Free acid does not exist. dipratic, strong reducing agent.

Sulphurie Acid (H2SO2): (Oil of vitriol): Stable, diprotic, dehydrating agent.
