Introduction to Oxoacids of Sulphur
Sulphur shapes a huge number of oxoacids. Quite a lot of these don't exist as free acids, however, are known as anions and salts. Oxoacids of sulphur, contingent upon their basic similitudes, are partitioned into four series.
They are:
Oxoacids with S-S linkages are called Thioacids, while those with Peroxy linkages (O-O) are called Peroxo Acids.
Sulphurous Acid Series
Sulphurous acid, dithionous acid, anddi or pyrosulphurous acid are sorted under the sulphurous acid series.

Sulphuric Acid Series
Sulphuric acid, thiosulphuric acid and di or pyrosulphuric acid are categorised under the sulphuric acid series.

Thionic Acid Series
It comprises of dithionic acid and polythionic acid.

Peroxo Acid Series
It consists of peroxomonosulphuric acid (also known as Persulfuric Acid) and Peroxodisulphuric acid.

Among all of these oxoacids, sulphuric acid (H2SO4) is the most imperative acid that is used in the chemical industry.
