Elemental sulfur (S) reacts with oxygen (O₂) to form sulfur trioxide (SO₃) according to the reaction:

\[ 2S + 3O₂ \rightarrow 2SO₃ \]

as depicted here (Figure 1).

---

**Figure Explanation:**

The figure is divided into two parts, illustrating the chemical reaction between sulfur and oxygen.

- **Left Diagram:**
  - Shows individual molecules of oxygen (O₂) and sulfur (S).
  - Oxygen molecules are represented by pairs of red spheres.
  - Sulfur atoms are represented by yellow spheres.

- **Right Diagram:**
  - Displays the formation of sulfur trioxide (SO₃) molecules.
  - Each sulfur trioxide molecule is depicted by a combination of one yellow sphere (sulfur) and three red spheres (oxygen).

An arrow between the diagrams indicates the progression from reactants (S and O₂) to products (SO₃).
