The names "Calcium and sulfur" and "Sulfur calcium" are incorrect because they do not follow the standard naming conventions for chemical compounds. In this case, the correct name for the compound formed by calcium and sulfur would be calcium sulfide.
"Sulfur aluminide" is an incorrect name because it does not follow the naming convention for ionic compounds. The correct name for the compound formed between sulfur and aluminum would be "aluminum sulfide" as sulfur takes on a -2 charge in the compound.
sulfur and oxygen. they form a covalent compound (meaning it consists of two non metal elements) and therefore use the binary naming system. the formula is SO2
SO2 is sulfur dioxide, meaning that there are 2 oxygen atoms in a molecule.SO3 is sulfur trioxide, meaning that there are 3 oxygen atoms in a molecule.
When naming ionic compounds, the non metals' ending is changed to "-ide". "Ionic bonds" do not have particular names.
In naming an ionic compound, the cation is named first, with no modification of the element name, and the anion is named secondly, with the element name modified by the suffix "ide". The incorrect name given in the question applies the proper method for the cation to the anion and vice versa.
Sulfates contain the sulfate ion SO42- the sulf- comes from the fact that sulfur is the central atom in this ion and distinguishes it from other oxygen containing ions. the -ate part of the name shows that the sulfur in the ion is in its highest oxidation state.
Hungarian Monks Used sulfur over 4,000 years ago. It was used as a medicine, for preserving food, and for fire-starting. The monks referred to it as, Tressulfus.In 1748, Thomas Willingham an English scientist, found a rich deposit of sulfur while on an archaeological expedition in Estonia. He gave its modern name, sulfur, and began excavation of the deposit.Today, it is used in the manufacture of Paint, Medicine, glass, ink, explosives and Earrings; and in the process of producing aluminum from ore.
"Sulfur" comes from the Latin word "sulfurium," which may have originated from the Sanskrit word "sulvere" meaning "to burn." Sulfur has a characteristic smell when it burns, which could have influenced the naming of the element.
Sulfur-32, Sulfur-33, Sulfur-34, Sulfur-36
Sulfur oxide can refer to both sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfur trioxide (SO3). The word equation for sulfur dioxide is sulfur + oxygen → sulfur dioxide. The word equation for sulfur trioxide is sulfur + oxygen → sulfur trioxide.
