Sulfur monoxide (SO) is a highly reactive and unstable molecule that has been observed in a variety of environments, including interstellar space, flames, and volcanic plumes. It is typically formed in the gas phase through the reaction of sulfur atoms with oxygen molecules. Its high reactivity makes it difficult to study, but research suggests it may play a role in atmospheric chemistry, contributing to the formation of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid. It is also believed to be involved in the catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide in combustion processes. Due to its short lifetime and difficulty in isolating, SO remains a challenging compound for comprehensive study.'
