Atoms of eachelement have six electrons in the outerelectron shell and require twoelectrons to fill the shell.● Oxygen exists as oxygen molecules,O2, in which each oxygen atomprovides two electrons. The oxygenatoms are held together by a dou blebon d, O=O.● At room temperature, sulfur exists as amolecule composed of eight sulfuratoms, S8 , arranged in the shape of acrown.OOxygen atom● OxygenOxygen molecule O2SSSulfur atomSSS3216 SSSSSSulfur molecule S8(crown-shaped)2 Laboratory preparation of oxygen2 Laboratory preparationof oxygenis prepared in the laboratoryby the decomposition of hydrogenperoxide using a suitable catalyst,such as manganese dioxide:168OOabcd● Oxygenaliquid reactant – hydrogensolid catalyst – manganese oxidewateroxygend2H2O2(l) ➞ O2(g) + 2H2O(l)● Hydrogenperoxide is rapidlydecomposed by a variety of catalysts,including the en zym e catalase.
In onesecond, one molecule of catalase candecompose up to 50,000 molecules ofhydrogen peroxide.● Oxygen is only slightly soluble and canbe collected over water.● Hydrogen peroxide is usually suppliedin solutions designated by volumestrength. For example, 20-volumehydrogen peroxide yields 20 volumesof oxygen gas per volume of solution.3 Physical properties ofoxygen and sulfur© Diagram Visual Information Ltd.● Atroom temperature, oxygen is acolorless, odorless gas, while sulfur is ayellow solid.cb3 Physical properties of oxygen and sulfurPhysical propertiesOxygenSulfurm.p./ °C–218119b.p./ °C–183444Density g/ dm 31.312070ColornoneyellowSmellnoneslightSolubility0.0 07g per 10 0 g/ H2Oalmost insoluble81Extraction of sulfur—the Frasch processPATTERNS—NON-METALSKey wordsoresulfidesulfursulfur dioxideThe Frasch processProcessing and usesa● Hotcbde150mfghcompressed air and superheatedsteam are piped underground.
Thisforces water and molten su lfu r to thesurface.● The sulfur obtained is about99.5 percent pure, and may be storedand transported molten or allowed tocool and solidify.● A significant proportion of theelemental sulfur used in industry isobtained as a by-product of otherindustrial processes such as therefining of metal su lfide ores andpetroleum refining.● In petroleum refining, sulfurcompounds like thiols ( R-SH) anddisulphides ( R-S-S-R) are removedfrom some of the petroleum fractionsbecause they would damage thecatalysts used in refining processesand also because of their potential tocause environmental problems.
Forexample, if they were not removedfrom fuels like gasoline, they wouldburn to form su lfu r dioxide. This gasdissolves in water in the atmosphere,forming an acid, and wouldsignificantly increase the acidity of rainwater.● Sulfur compounds are converted tohydrogen sulfide by catalytichydrogenation:R-SH(g) + H2(g) ➞R-H(g) + H2S(g)R-S-S-R(g) + 3H2(g) ➞2R-H(g) + 2H2S(g)sulfide can be converted tosulfur using the Claus process:6H2S(g) + 5O2(g) ➞2SO2(g) + 2S2(g) + 6H2O(g)4H2S(g) + 2SO2(g) ➞3S2(g) + 4H2O(g)abcdhot compressed airsuperheated water (at 170°C)molten sulfur and waterclayefghquicksandsandlimestonesulfur© Diagram Visual Information Ltd.● Hydrogen82PATTERNS—NON-METALSKey wordsallotropebonddiatomicmoleculeoxygenozonesulfurviscosityOxygen and sulfur:allotropes1 Allotrope of oxygenOxygenAllotropesO● Allotropesare different forms of thesame element in the same physicalstate.

The gas alsoexists as a triatomic molecule, O3,which is called ozon e.● Oxygen has two bon ds between theatoms. Each atom donates oneelectron to each bond.● In ozone, the central oxygen atomdonates a pair of electrons to form abond with the other two atoms.
Oneof the other atoms also donates a pairof electrons, while the other does not.OO–O–O2 Allotropes of sulfur2 Sulfur● Sulfurhas several allotropes in thesolid form, including rhombic sulfurand monocline sulfur.● Rhombic sulfur crystals have a lemonyellow appearance.● Monocline sulfur crystals are needlelike and have a deeper yellow color.● Each allotrope is composed of S8puckered molecular rings, butarranged in different ways.RhombicsulfurMonoclinicsulfur33 Heating sulfur© Diagram Visual Information Ltd.● Sulfurmelts when gently heated, andthe sulfur molecules are able to movearound, forming a low-viscosity liquid.● On stronger heating, the sulfur ringsbreak open, yielding sulfur molecules.These molecules join by cross-linking,causing a sharp increase in viscosity.● On even stronger heating, the crosslinked structure breaks, yielding smallsulfur molecules, which are freemoving, and the viscosity falls.StructureColorState of matterViscosityyellowyellowredblacksolidliquidliquidliquid–lowhighlow83Oxygen and sulfur:compound formation1 Oxygen and magnesiumPATTERNS—NON-METALSKey words2 Reaction of sulfur and ironMg2+Fe2+O2–S2–oxideoxygenperoxidesulfidesulfur1 Oxygen and magnesium● Oxygenreacts with most metals toform metal oxides.
