Does sulfur give away electrons when forming a ionic bond?
No, sulfur accepts two electrons forming sulphide ion.
When an ionic bond forms electrons are gained?
they form cations
Is ZnSO4 ionic or covalent bonding?
Both. The sulfur ion consists of one atom of sulfur and four of oxygen; because it does not have enough electrons to complete the octet rule for oxygen, it must use electrons from another source, whose charges are not balanced within the ion. The sulfur then forms six covalent bonds with oxygen: two double bond pairs, two single bond pairs. This causes the oxygen atoms with the extra electron to become negatively charged: The zinc ion forms an ionic bond with them and completes the compound.
Which kind of compound generally results when nonmetal atoms chemically combine with metal atoms?
An ionic bond forms between a metal and a nonmetal. Ionic bonding transfers electrons.
What type of bond forms between sodim and sulfur?
ionic
Calcium sulfide forms when calcium loses 2 valence electrons to sulfur What type of a bond is formed?
ionic
Which element will have a noble gas configuration if it forms an ionic bond by accepting two electrons from a magnesium atom?
sulfur
What type of chemical bond forms when atoms that have gained or lost electrons are held together by magnetic attraction?
an ionic bond forms
Calcium sulfide forms when calcium loses 2 valence electrons to sulfur what type of bond is formed?
An ionic bond.
Why does sulfur gain electrons when forming ionic bonds?
because nonmetals gain electrons in ionic bonds and metals lose electrons in ionic bonds(oxidize).
Which type of bond are electrons gained or lost?
ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of electrons
Does sulfur give away electrons when forming a ionic bond?
No, sulfur accepts two electrons forming sulphide ion.
What type of bond is formed when electrons are gained and lost?
Ionic bonds are formed between positively charged atoms (lost electrons) and negatively charged atoms (gained electrons).
