Sulphur dioxode molecule
Sulphur dioxide. Computer model of a molecule of sulphur dioxide (SO2). Atoms are represented as spheres and are colour-coded: sulphur (yellow) and oxygen (red). Sulphur dioxide is a colourless acidic gas that is produced when sulphur is burnt in air or pure oxygen. Due to the burning of fuels containing sulphur, sulphuric acid is a major component of acid rain

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer model of a sulphur dioxide molecule (SO2), revealing its intricate structure and composition. The atoms are represented as vibrant spheres, with sulphur depicted in yellow and oxygen in red. Sulphur dioxide is an invisible acidic gas that forms when sulphur is burned in air or pure oxygen. The significance of this compound lies within its role as a major component of acid rain, which poses serious environmental concerns. As fuels containing sulphur are combusted, the resulting emissions contribute to the formation of sulphuric acid, one of the primary contributors to acid rain. This stunning illustration not only highlights the chemical intricacies but also serves as a reminder of the impact human activities can have on our planet's delicate balance. By showcasing this molecular model, we gain insight into how compounds like sulphur dioxide play crucial roles in atmospheric chemistry. Beyond its involvement in acid rain formation, this versatile molecule finds applications as both a preservative and an antioxidant due to its unique properties. This computer artwork provides us with an opportunity to appreciate the beauty found within scientific exploration while raising awareness about important issues such as pollution and climate change.
