Similarities
Differences
They are both elements
Lithium sulfate forms an ionic lattice, and it has seven atoms in its empirical formula.
S stands for Sulfur.
In earlier times, Sulfur or Brimstone, was use widely my the Chinese for gunpowder in around the year 1044. BUT Antoine Lavoisier agued that it was an element NOT a compound in the year 1777.
Sulfur, as a native mineral, or from the mineral pyrite, is used in the manufacture of matches.
Sulfur hexafluoride has covalent bonds.
Lithium (Li) reacts with sulfur (S) to produce lithium sulfide Li2S.
Lithium sulfide
The formula for the compound between Lithium and Sulfur is Li2S because Lithium has a +1 charge while Sulfur has a -2. So for it to be stable, there needs to be two Lithium atoms attached to one Sulfer.
A sulfur molecule contain more atoms.
Lithium sulfate - Li2SO4 Lithium sulphide - Li2S
Lithium sulfate - Li2SO4 Lithium sulphide - Li2S
Lithiumsulfide
The similarity of sulfur molecule and the sulfur dioxide molecule is the type of bond.
A sulfur molecule contains many sulfur atoms. These atoms combined together to form sulfur molecule i.e. S8.
When lithium and sulfur combine, they do so as Li2S (lithium sulfide). This is an ionic compound.
Lithium + sulfur +oxygen
Lithium Sulfur cyanide
