Does sulfur and oxygen form ionic compounds?
The reaction of chlorine and sulfur can give a few different products, each of which is considered to have covalent rather than ionic bonding.
Does nitrogen and sulfur form a ionic compound?
The compounds in the system nitrogen-sulfur are not ionic.
When potassium and bromine atoms form chemical bonds what is produced?
Potassium and bromine form the ionic compound potassium bromide with the chemical formula KBr.
Which element when combined with sulfur would most like form an ionic compound?
Metal, like sodium.
What elements is most likely to form an ionic compound with potassium a.Na b.Ca c.C d.O?
oxygen
When potassium and sulfur react to form potassium sulfide an ionic compound what happens?
The potassium atom gives up one electron, and the sulfur atom acquires two electrons (hence, it takes two potassium and one sulfur to form potassium sulfide, K2S).
Does sulfur and oxygen form ionic compounds?
The reaction of chlorine and sulfur can give a few different products, each of which is considered to have covalent rather than ionic bonding.
Does nitrogen and sulfur form a ionic compound?
The compounds in the system nitrogen-sulfur are not ionic.
Will element Potassiumand Chlorine form an ionic compound?
Yes, the elements potassium and chlorine will react--very vigorously--to form the ionic compound potassium chloride.
Is Sulfur and xenon form ionic compound or not?
Sulfur can form ionic compounds (eg SO2), but Xenon is a noble gas and does not react to form compounds.
What compounds does sulfur form?
Sulfur can form both ionic and covalent compounds. For example, sulfur dioxide is a covalent compound whereas sulfides of metals are ionic compounds.
When potassium and bromine atoms form chemical bonds what is produced?
Potassium and bromine form the ionic compound potassium bromide with the chemical formula KBr.
What is the ionic compound name for potassium nitrate?
The ionic compound for Potassium is K+ and the ionic compound for Oxide is O2-. So K+ + O2- = K20 From MILLY
Will sodium and potassium form an ionic compound?
No. They both are looking to lose an electron. One will bond with an element that will take that electron. Potassium and iodine will form ionic bonds.
Why is SO2 not an ionic compound?
The difference in electronegativity between sulfur and oxygen is not sufficient to form ionic bonds.
Can calcium and sulfur form a compound?
Yes; these elements can form an ionic compound named calcium sulfide, with formula CaS.
What is the symbol for the ions that form when potassium and iodine react to form the ionic compound potassium iodide?
The cation is K+ and the anion is I-.
