Best Answer

No. Both are non-metals so the bond is covalent. The electronegtivity difference of 0.46 is far to small to give an ionic bond.

A couple of exampls are NS a strange molecue found in deep space, it is the sulfur analog of NO

N4S4 has an unstable cage structure and is unstable.

Is sulfur trioxide is ionic?

Sulfur trioxide is not ionic; it is covalently bonded. When dissolved in water, however, sulfur trioxide forms sulfuric acid, which is partially ionic: It dissociates into hydrogen ions and sulfate polyatomic cations.


Is sulfur oxide a molecule or part of an ionic solid?

Sulfer oxide is covalently bonded - so no, it is not an ionic solid.


Is SO3 an ionic bond or a covalent bond?

SO3 as sulfur trioxide is polar covalent bonded. As the sulfite ion, it is covalently bonded as the ion but forms ionic bonds with other species.


Is N2S5 ionic or covalent?

It is covalent because Nitrogen and Sulfur are two nonmetals.


What are likely to form an ionic bond magnesium and sulfur or nitrogen and oxygen?

Magnesium and sulfur are much more likely than nitrogen and oxygen to form an ionic bond, because the difference in electronegativity between sulfur and magnesium is much greater than the difference in electronegativity between nitrogen and oxygen. Another way of phrasing the reason is that magnesium is a metal and sulfur a nonmetal, while nitrogen and oxygen are both nonmetals.
