Why CuS is covalent compound while CuO is ionic compound?

Not sure about your examples but electronegativity variance is a good rule of thumb for deciding ionic from covalent bonds. Electronegativity variance less than 1.4, generally much less, indicates a covalent bonding. Electronegativity variance greater than 1.4 indicates ionic bonding.

Is CuS a ionic or molecular bond?

CuS is an ionic bond because it is formed between a metal (copper, Cu) and a non-metal (sulfur, S). In an ionic bond, electrons are transferred from the metal to the non-metal, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions.


Is CuS an eletrolyte?

No, CuS (copper sulfide) is not an electrolyte. Electrolytes are substances that dissociate into ions in solution to conduct electricity, while CuS remains intact as a solid compound.

Is CuS soluble in water?

Copper(I) sulfide (CuS) is generally considered insoluble in water. It has low solubility due to the strong ionic bonds between copper and sulfide ions, which do not easily dissociate in aqueous solutions. Thus, CuS typically forms a solid precipitate when mixed with water.

I'm not sure. But my wife had a college professor who pronounced cation as "cay-shun" instead of "cat-ion" and called anions "an-yuns" instead of "an-ions." How that person got a PhD without ever learning ot say basic words is beyond me...
