What type of bonding would you expect in sulfur hexafluoride and why?
covalent bond
What is the bonding capacity for sulfur?
Sulfur is a reactive element; the Pauling electronegativity is 2,58.
Elements in Group 16 of the periodic table usually?
Oxygen, Sulfur, Selenium, Tellurium, and Polonium =]
What would s sulfur atom tend to do in bonding with another atom to form an ionic compound?
A sulfur atom tends to gain two electrons.
Is sulfur a negative or positive ion?
Negavtive ... 2-
Which atom will form a positive ion during ionic bonding sulfur or magnesium?
Magnesium will form a positive ion during ionic bonding. Sulfur will form a negative ion during ionic bonding. In ionic bonding, metals form positive ions and nonmetals form negative ions.
Which atom of sulfur and magnesium for a positive ion during ionic bonding?
Magnesium is the cation and sulfur is the anion.
Would a sulfur become a positive ion before bonding?
Rarely if ever would sulfur become a cation or positive ion before bonding. Sulfur already has 6 electrons in the valence shell or outermost energy level (outer most orbital(s) formed by the electron's motion in space). This means Sulfur will want to gain 2 electrons to become a negative ion, become stable and fill the valence shell with 8 electrons (the goal of all elements on the periodic table in groups 1-2 & 13 - 17, where groups 1, 2, 13 & sometimes 14 will lose 1, 2, 3, & sometime 4 electrons respectively to become stable and 14-17 will gain 4, 3, 2, & 1 electrons respectively to become stable or lower in energy). Sulfur can share electrons with other nonmetals which may be able to pull those shared electrons closer to itself (such as fluorine - the element in the groups discussed above that exhibits the greatest ability to attract electrons to itself properly called the most electronegative element) causing sulfur to take on a partial positive charge indicated by the Greek symbol delta+ but it will not display a full positive charge.
What type of bonding is sulfur?
Sulfur has covalent bonds with nonmetals.
What type of bonding would you expect in sulfur hexafluoride?
Covalent Bonding

What type of bonding would you expect in sulfur hexafluoride and why?
covalent bond
How many of the 6 valence electrons in sulfur are used in covalent bonding in sulfur tetrachloride and dislufur diflouride?
4 for sulfur tetrachloride and 2 for disulfur difluoride
What is the bonding capacity for sulfur?
Sulfur is a reactive element; the Pauling electronegativity is 2,58.
How does sulfur sustain life on earth?
Sulfur is a component in several amino acids and is involved in determing their secondary bonding when they make proteins.
