When silver is combined with sulfur, it forms a layer of black silver sulfide. Being exposed to air and sulfur will cause any type of silver to tarnish.
This compound is potassium sulfide - K2S.
The smell is similar to the smell of hydrogen sulfide (rotten eggs).
The substance that forms when silver corrodes is silver oxide (Ag2O). This is a compound consisting of two silver atoms bonded to one oxygen atom.
Because two simple substances combine to forms a more complex one. In this case two elements (iron and sulfur), combine to form a compound
The molecular formula for Silver sulfide is Ag2S
it is a chemical change

No, sulfur sulfide is not a compound. However, sulfur forms different compounds with various elements. One common example is sulfur dioxide (SO2), which is a gas formed by the combination of sulfur and oxygen.
Silver and sulfur bond to form silver sulfide, or Ag2S. The chemical equation looks like this:2Ag + S -> Ag2SSilver always loses one electron in chemical reactions, giving it a +1 charge. Sulfur, on the other hand, always gains two electrons in chemical reactions, giving it a -2 charge.In order to form a balanced molecule, two silver ions (with a collective charge of +2) bond with a single ion of sulfur (with a charge of -2) to create a molecule with a charge of 0.DID YOU KNOW?Silver sulfide is what makes up the tarnish that forms on silver.
Reacting aluminium and sulfur forms Al2S3. The reaction produces a lot of heat and forms the colorless aluminium(III) sulfide. This is a covalent compound.
Forms the compound, iron sulfide.
This compound is potassium sulfide - K2S.
A sulfide, containing the S2- ion For example react measured amounts of iron and sulfur and heat to form iron(II) sulfide Fe+S -> FeS
ionic
An ionic bond.
The smell is similar to the smell of hydrogen sulfide (rotten eggs).
