The difference in electronegativity between sulfur and oxygen is not sufficient to form ionic bonds.
Sulfur will form covalent bonds with itself and other nonmetals, but will form ionic bonds with most metals.
Tin can form weakly ionic bonds with several non metals including oxygen, sulfur and chlorine.
A. aluminum and oxygen B. sulfur and oxygen C. magnesium and chlorine D. copper and copper Correct Answer: Sulfur and Oxygen
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.
No, they form covalent bonds. Sulfur dioxide, SO2, for instance.

Sulfur and oxygen will form polar covalent bond
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.
Iron would form ionic bonds with sulfur.
No. Carbon does not form ionic bonds, and in this case they are double-covalent bonds.
No, Oxygen forms covalent bonds
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.
