Answers
Sulfur dioxide appears as a colorless gas with a choking or suffocating odor. Boiling point -10°C. Heavier than air. Very toxic by inhalation and may irritate the eyes and mucous membranes. Under prolonged exposure to fire or heat the containers may rupture violently and rocket. Used to manufacture chemicals, in paper pulping, in metal and food processing. Rate of onset: Immediate & Delayed Persistence: Minutes to hours Odor threshold: 1 ppm Source/use/other hazard: Disinfectant and preserving in breweries and food/canning; textile industry; batteries.

Sulfur dioxide is a colorless gas with a pungent odor. It is a liquid when under pressure, and it dissolves in water very easily. Sulfur dioxide in the air comes mainly from activities such as the burning of coal and oil at power plants or from copper smelting. In nature, sulfur dioxide can be released to the air from volcanic eruptions.

Answer:
A lot of them
Explanation:
- It is a reducing gas with S having +4 O.S, hence it could give of another two electrons and get oxidised itself and reduce others.
- You can get the m.p and b.p at wikipedia.
- It has bleaching properties (It makes things which has moisture into white) Why? google it to gain more knowledge.. Hint: Raidicals are responsible for bleaching
- It has pungent smell
- And some playaround with vsepr theory
