Zinc sulfide is the ionic compound with Zn2+ and S2- ions.
ZnS
a). Sulfur to form zinc sulfide (ZnS) b). Oxygen to form zinc oxide (ZnO)
ZnS is correct for Zinc Sulphide (I refuse to spell sulphur with an f) - Zn likes to form +2 ions losing the 2 4s electrons to form the +2 oxidation state, and S likes to either form -2 or +6 oxidation states, thus forming ZnS
