- English Word Sulpharsenite Definition A salt of sulpharsenious acid.
- English Word Sulphate Definition A salt of sulphuric acid.
- English Word Sulphatic Definition Of, pertaining to, resembling, or containing, a sulphate or sulphates.
- English Word Sulphato- Definition A combining form (also used adjectively) denoting a sulphate as an ingredient in certain double salts; as, sulphato-carbonate.

- English Word Sulphauric Definition Of, pertaining to, or designating, a hypothetical sulphacid of gold (aurum), known only in its salts.
- English Word Sulphide Definition A binary compound of sulphur, or one so regarded; -- formerly called sulphuret.
- English Word Sulphinate Definition A salt of a sulphinic acid.
- English Word Sulphindigotic Definition Of, pertaining to, or designating, a sulphonic acid obtained, as a blue solution, by dissolving indigo in sulphuric acid; -- formerly called also cerulic sulphuric acid, but properly called indigo-disulphonic acid.
- English Word Sulphine Definition Any one of a series of basic compounds which consist essentially of sulphur united with hydrocarbon radicals. In general they are oily or crystalline deliquescent substances having a peculiar odor; as, trimethyl sulphine, (CH3)3S.OH. Cf. Sulphonium.
- English Word Sulphinic Definition Of, pertaining to, or designating, any one of a series of acids regarded as acid ethereal salts of hyposulphurous acid; as, methyl sulphinic acid, CH3.SO.OH, a thick unstable liquid.
- English Word Sulphinide Definition A white or yellowish crystalline substance, C6H4.(SO2.CO).NH, produced artificially by the oxidation of a sulphamic derivative of toluene. It is the sweetest substance known, having over two hundred times the sweetening power of sugar, and is known in commerce under the name of saccharine. It has acid properties and forms salts (which are inaccurately called saccharinates).
- English Word Sulphion Definition A hypothetical radical, SO4, regarded as forming the acid or negative constituent of sulphuric acid and the sulphates in electrolytic decomposition; -- so called in accordance with the binary theory of salts.
- English Word Sulphionide Definition A binary compound of sulphion, or one so regarded; thus, sulphuric acid, H/SO/, is a sulphionide.
- English Word Sulphite Definition A salt of sulphurous acid.
- English Word Sulpho- Definition A prefix (also used adjectively) designating sulphur as an ingredient in certain compounds. Cf. Thio-.
- English Word Sulphoarsenic Definition Of, pertaining to, or containing, sulphur and arsenic; -- said of an acid which is the same as arsenic acid with the substitution of sulphur for oxygen.
- English Word Sulphocarbonate Definition A salt of sulphocarbonic acid; a thiocarbonate.
- English Word Sulphocarbonic Definition Of, pertaining to, or designating, a sulphacid, H2CSO2 (called also thiocarbonic acid), or an acid, H2CS3, analogous to carbonic acid, obtained as a yellow oily liquid of a pungent odor, and forming salts.

- English Word Sulphocyanic Definition Of, pertaining to, derived from, or designating, a sulphacid, HSCN, analogous to cyanic acid, and obtained as a colorless deliquescent crystalline substance, having a bitter saline taste, and not poisonous.
- English Word Sulphocyanide Definition See Sulphocyanate.
- English Word Sulphocyanogen Definition See Persulphocyanogen.
- English Word Sulphonal Definition A substance employed as a hypnotic, produced by the union of mercaptan and acetone.
- English Word Sulphonate Definition A salt of sulphonic acid.
- English Word Sulphone Definition Any one of a series of compounds analogous to the ketones, and consisting of the sulphuryl group united with two hydrocarbon radicals; as, dimethyl sulphone, (CH/)/.SO/.
- English Word Sulphonic Definition Pertaining to, or derived from, a sulphone; -- used specifically to designate any one of a series of acids (regarded as acid ethereal salts of sulphurous acid) obtained by the oxidation of the mercaptans, or by treating sulphuric acid with certain aromatic bases (as benzene); as, phenyl sulphonic acid, C6H5.SO2.OH, a stable colorless crystalline substance.
- English Word Sulphonium Definition A hypothetical radical, SH3, regarded as the type and nucleus of the sulphines.
- English Word Sulphophosphate Definition A salt of sulphophosphoric acid.
