Sulfur oxide (SOx) refers to one or more of the following:
- Lower sulfur oxides (SnO, S7O2 and S6O2)
- Sulfur monoxide (SO) and its dimer, Disulfur dioxide (S2O2)
- Sulfur dioxide (SO2)
- Sulfur trioxide (SO3)
- Higher sulfur oxides (SO3 and SO4 and polymeric condensates of them)
- Disulfur monoxide (S2O)
