Does sulfur and oxygen for binary ionic compounds?

No, they form covalent bonds. Sulfur dioxide, SO2, for instance.


Why is SO2 not an ionic compound?

The difference in electronegativity between sulfur and oxygen is not sufficient to form ionic bonds.


Does sulfur has ionic bonds or covalent bonds?

Sulfur will form covalent bonds with itself and other nonmetals, but will form ionic bonds with most metals.


What bond does tin and oxygen form?

Tin can form weakly ionic bonds with several non metals including oxygen, sulfur and chlorine.


Which of the following are likely to form a covalent bond?

A. aluminum and oxygen B. sulfur and oxygen C. magnesium and chlorine D. copper and copper Correct Answer: Sulfur and Oxygen


Which of these elements are most likely to form covalent bonds silicon oxygen chlorine or sulfur?

silcon has the lowest electronegtaivity so would most likely form covalent bonds. Sulfur is next (although with group1 and 2 metals it forms ionic compounds) oxygen and chlorine have high electronegativites so form many ionic compounds - however they also form covalent compunds as well.


Would sulfur and oxygen form a ionic molecular or acidic chemical bond?

Sulfur and oxygen will form polar covalent bond


Can Potassium and sulfur can form a ionic compound?

Yes, Potassium is a metal, specifically an alkali metal, and sulfur is a nonmetal. The alkali metals will form ionic bonds with nonmetals, including sulfur. Potassium and sulfur will form potassium sulfide, K2S.


What type of bond will Fe and S form?

Iron would form ionic bonds with sulfur.


Does sulfur and phosphorus ionic bond?

No. Carbon does not form ionic bonds, and in this case they are double-covalent bonds.


Does oxygen and chlorine form an ionic bond?

No, Oxygen forms covalent bonds


Will an ionic or covalent bond form between hydrogen and sulfur?

Covalent (molecular) bonds form between a non-metal and a non-metal, while ionic bonds form between a metal and a non-metal. Hydrogen and sulfur are two non-metals.
