When sulfur reacts with a metal, a metal sulfide salt is usually formed.
Mg2+
Sodium (metal) reacts with chlorine (nonmetal) to form sodium chloride. Magnesium (metal) reacts with oxygen (nonmetal) to form magnesium oxide. Aluminum (metal) reacts with sulfur (nonmetal) to form aluminum sulfide. Lithium (metal) reacts with nitrogen (nonmetal) to form lithium nitride. Potassium (metal) reacts with fluorine (nonmetal) to form potassium fluoride. Calcium (metal) reacts with phosphorus (nonmetal) to form calcium phosphide. Barium (metal) reacts with iodine (nonmetal) to form barium iodide. Titanium (metal) reacts with carbon (nonmetal) to form titanium carbide. Iron (metal) reacts with chlorine (nonmetal) to form iron(III) chloride. Zinc (metal) reacts with sulfur (nonmetal) to form zinc sulfide.

Magnesium Oxide Reacts With Sulfur Trioxide added: Magnesium sulfate is formed: MgO + SO3 --> MgSO4
The symbol for the magnesium ion formed when magnesium metal reacts with sulfur is Mg^2+.
chemical
Be + S => BeS which is Beryllium (II) sulfide.
Reacting iron with sulfur an iron sulfide is formed, not a mixture.
A cation is formed.
Copper sulfide is the compound formed when copper reacts with sulfur. Depending on the ratio of copper to sulfur, different forms of copper sulfide can be formed, such as Cu2S and CuS.
Mg2+
The formula for sulfur tetrabromide is SBr4. This compound is formed when sulfur reacts with bromine in a 1:4 ratio.
