The S valence would be -1 when Fe(II) is 2+.

In most cases sulfur has one negative and two possible positive valences: -2 and +4 or +6. So FeS2 is not a possible, or maybe a very rare, compound (Iron(II) persulfide?).

What is the valency of sulfur in FeS2?

The valency of sulfur in FeS2 is -2. This is because the overall charge of FeS2 is zero, and iron has a positive valency of +2. Therefore, sulfur must have a valency of -2 to balance the charge.


How do you say that valency of sulphur trioxide is 6?

You don't say that. What you do say is that the valency of sulphur in sulphur trioxide is 6.


What is the valency of sulphur in SO3?

Things are complicated if we use the term valency. It is better to use the term Oxidation state or Oxidation Number. In SO2, the oxidation state of sulphur is +4 and In SO3, the oxidation state of sulphur is +6.

What is the valency of sulphur in sulphite radical?

The valency of sulfur in the sulfite radical is +4. This is because sulfur has a usual oxidation state of +4 in the sulfite ion, which is SO3^2-.


How do you extract Au from calco-pyrite rock?

You can't extract what ain't there. Why do you think it's called FOOL'S gold? Iron Pyrites = FeS2 = Iron & Sulphur = No gold. Chalcpyrites =Cu2S = Copper & Sulphur ≠ gold.


What is the valency of sulphur in sulphuric acid?

The valency of sulfur in sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is +6. This means that sulfur can form up to 6 chemical bonds with other elements.


What is the valency of sulphur in hydrogen sulphide?

The valency of sulfur in hydrogen sulfide is 2. This means that sulfur in hydrogen sulfide forms two bonds with other elements or ions, such as hydrogen in this case.


What is the valency of sulphur in ammonium sulphate?

The valency of sulfur in ammonium sulfate is 6. This is because each sulfate ion (SO4^2-) contains one sulfur atom with a valency of 6 due to its ability to form 6 covalent bonds by accepting two electrons from each of the four oxygen atoms.


What is valency of sulphur in sulphuric acid?

The valency of sulfur in sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is +6. Sulfur forms 4 covalent bonds (with oxygen atoms) and 2 ionic bonds (with hydrogen ions) in the compound.
