What symbol for sodium instead of s?
The symbol for sodium is not s. it is Na
What is sulfur ion formula?
Sodium and sulfur make sodium sulfide together. 2Na+ (2 cations) and S2- (anion) make Na2S (compound)
The formula for sodium sulfide is Na2s Explain what the formula means?
Sodium sulfide
What is the symbol for sulfur?
The symbol for sulfur is S.
What is Na plus S and why?
Sodium (Na) plus sulfur (S) creates sodium sulfide (Na2S). The reason is that Na gives up it's valence electron and S takes it. It takes 2 sodiums because S need TWO electrons to complete the octet. This forms the ionic compound sodium sulfide.
What symbol for sodium instead of s?
The symbol for sodium is not s. it is Na
What is sulfur ion formula?
Sodium and sulfur make sodium sulfide together. 2Na+ (2 cations) and S2- (anion) make Na2S (compound)
What is chemical symbol s for what is s chemical symbol of?
S is the chemical formula for Sulfur.
The formula for sodium sulfide is Na2s Explain what the formula means?
Sodium sulfide
What is the symbol for sulfur?
The symbol for sulfur is S.
When the compound Na2S forms what happens to the Na and S ions?
Sodium and sulfur form an ionic bond.
What type of bond is formed between sodium and sulfur?
Sodium (symbol, Na) has 1+ charge associated with it. Sulfur (symbol, S) has a 2- charge associated with it. So for every one molecule of sulfur, you need two molecules of sodium to balance out the charges so the ratio (or formula) would be: Na2S (s) The name of this ionic compound would be Sodium sulfide :)
What is Na plus S and why?
Sodium (Na) plus sulfur (S) creates sodium sulfide (Na2S). The reason is that Na gives up it's valence electron and S takes it. It takes 2 sodiums because S need TWO electrons to complete the octet. This forms the ionic compound sodium sulfide.
Which is the best insulator what Na Si or S?
Na is sodium metal, Si is a metalloid, and S is a nonmetal. The nonmetal, sulfur (S), would be the best insulator.
What is the elemental symbol for sulfur?
The symbol for Sulfur is S.The symbol is S
Where is SO on the periodic table?
It's not on the periodic table ^ not really true. SO isn't but S is Sulfur which is a nonmetal, and O is Oxygen which is also a nonmetal.
What is the abbreviated electron configuratioof element Na?
Sodium is a chemical element with the symbol Na .The chemical abbreviation for sodium metabisulphite is as follows Na 2 S 2 0 5 NACL is the abbreviation of sodium chloride.
