Because Sulphur is more electronegative
Sulfur is extracted from pyrite through a process called roasting. Pyrite is heated in the presence of oxygen, which causes the sulfur in the pyrite to react and form sulfur dioxide gas. The sulfur dioxide gas is then collected and further processed to obtain pure sulfur.
Sulfur can exist in different oxidation states and form both negative (sulfide ion, S^2-) and positive ions (sulfate ion, SO4^2-).
When sulfur forms a negative ion, it gains two electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell, making it have the same electron configuration as argon.
Sulfur commonly forms a -2 charge as a simple monatomic ion by gaining two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
The bond between chromium and sulfur is typically an ionic bond. Chromium tends to lose electrons to form a positive ion, while sulfur tends to gain electrons to form a negative ion, resulting in electrostatic attraction between the two ions.

No, Pyrite is iron and sulfur
Sulfur can exist in different oxidation states and form both negative (sulfide ion, S^2-) and positive ions (sulfate ion, SO4^2-).
There are two atoms of sulfur in pyrite (FeS2)
When sulfur forms a negative ion, it gains two electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell, making it have the same electron configuration as argon.
Sulfur forms a -2 ion in an attempt to achieve a complete electron shell that is isoelectronic with Argon. In order to achieve a full 3p shell, Sulfur must gain 2 electrons, becoming a -2 ion.
sulfur has 16 electrons with a neutral charge the most common ion formed is the sulfide ion, with a negative 2 charge to get a negative 2 charge, it gains 2 electrons, thus fulfilling the octet rule and acquiring the electron configuration of argon
iron and sulfur Pyrite is iron sulfide, FeS2.
Sulfur is an element. Sulfide, the ion formed by sulfur cannot exist on its own as a substance because it carries a negative charge and must be accompanied by a positive ion.
Magnesium will form a positive ion during ionic bonding. It will lose 2 electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration, resulting in a 2+ ion. Sulfur typically forms a negative ion by gaining 2 electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
In a sulfur ion with a charge of 2-, there are 18 electrons (16 from the neutral sulfur atom and two additional electrons to account for the negative charge). The number of protons remains the same as in a neutral sulfur atom, which is 16.
yes sulfur is positive ion
