If you meant sulfur and oxigen, the answer is simply yes!
If you burn sulfur you got SO2, which is a gas, and looks like this: <O=S=O> <,> being the lone pairs, = being a double bond Also there is SO3: ^ O || <O=S=O> So yes sulfur and oxigen can form covalent bonds! SO2 is commonly used as a preservative gas, for example in a bag of chips. |
