What does SULFO mean in Scrabble?
adjective
chemistrytechnical
Containing or relating to the sulfonic acid group in a chemical compound.
Sulfo shows up mainly as a prefix or label chemists attach to a molecule's name, most often in detergents, dyes, and certain synthetic drugs where solubility in water matters. Outside a laboratory or a chemistry textbook, almost nobody uses the word in conversation, unlike everyday adjectives such as salty or sugary. A related, more familiar form is sulfonic, which names the same acid the prefix points to.
