What is the electron arrangement of the sulfide ion?
1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6 The sulfur ion has 16 electrons but sulfide has a charge of negative 2, increasing its electron count by two for a total of 18 electrons, giving it the same electron configuration as Argon (this means it is also isoelectronic with Argon)
Why does a magnet pick up iron in a mixture of iron and sulfur but not in a compound of iron sulfide?
Iron's magnetic properties are due to the configuration of its electrons when it is in its elemental form. In iron sulfide iron is in the form of positive ions rather than neutral atoms. This changes the electron configuration and thus how iron will respond to a magnetic field.
How is sulfide s2?
The sulfur atoms gain two electrons to form the sulfide ion.
What is the number of protons and electrons in a sulfide ion -2?
Protons = 16 Electrons = 18
What is Na plus S and why?
Sodium (Na) plus sulfur (S) creates sodium sulfide (Na2S). The reason is that Na gives up it's valence electron and S takes it. It takes 2 sodiums because S need TWO electrons to complete the octet. This forms the ionic compound sodium sulfide.
What is the formula of the ion formed when sulfur achieves a noble gas electron configuration?
Sulfur atoms will gain two electrons in order to achieve a noble gas electron configuration. A sulfide ion has the formula S2-.
What is the electronic configuration of the sulfide ion?
1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6 The sulfur ion has 16 electrons but sulfide has a charge of negative 2, increasing its electron count by two for a total of 18 electrons, giving it the same electron configuration as Argon (this means it is also isoelectronic with Argon)
When this element gains 2 electrons it has the electron configuration of the noble gas Argon?
The element is sulfur with 16 electrons. It gains two electrons to form sulfide ion which has 18 electrons as that of argon.
What is the charge of a sulfide ion that is isoelectric with its nearest noble gas?
The charge of a sulfide ion that is isoelectric with its nearest noble gas (argon) is -2. This means that the sulfide ion has gained two electrons in order to have the same electron configuration as the noble gas.
What is the ground-state electron configuration of the sulfide ion S2 and minus?
1s22s22p6

How many electrons does sulfur gain to attain a noble gas configuration?
Gain two electrons to have the electron configuration as Argon
What is the name of the ion formed when sulfur attains a noble gas electron configuration?
Sulfide, S2-
How many electron and protons does Sulfide ion have?
16 protons and 18 electrons
Why does a magnet pick up iron in a mixture of iron and sulfur but not in a compound of iron sulfide?
Iron's magnetic properties are due to the configuration of its electrons when it is in its elemental form. In iron sulfide iron is in the form of positive ions rather than neutral atoms. This changes the electron configuration and thus how iron will respond to a magnetic field.
Does a sulfide ion have a bigger radius than a sulfur atom?
The nuclear charge is the same for both species, but the eight valence electrons in the sulfide ion experience a greater amount of electron-electron repulsion than do the six valence electrons in the neutral sulfur atom. This extra repulsion in the sulfide ion increases the average distance between the valence electrons, so the electron cloud around the sulfide ion has the greater radius.
Indicates the number of protons and electrons for this Sulfide ion?
16 protons and 18 electron
