Is silver a sulfide?

Silver sulfide is an ionic compound, and is not a metal.


Silver sulfide acid base or salt?

Silver sulfide is composed of silver, a metal, and sulfur, a non-metal; therefore, it is an ionic compound and a salt.


When silver metal comes in contact with sulfur silver sulfide forms and the silver appears darker what is this?

This is a chemical reaction where silver metal reacts with sulfur in the air to form silver sulfide. The silver sulfide appears as a darker tarnish on the surface of the silver metal due to the formation of the compound.


If you boil Silver in salt water why does Sulfur form?

The black tarnish on silver is silver sulfide, Ag2S. Presumably you are boiling silver in a metal pot. The salt water completes an electrochemical cell between the silver sulfide and the aluminum, copper, or iron pot. The oxidized silver in silver sulfide is reduced to silver metal, and part of the metal pot is oxidized; the reaction happens because silver wants to be reduced more than the other metals do. You might imagine that as the metal is oxidized it would become iron, copper, or aluminum sulfide, but the metal sulfides, especially aluminum sulfide, are not so stable. Aluminum sulfide hydrolyzes to aluminum hydroxides and hydrogen sulfide, H2S, the stinky gas, which is probably what you are calling "sulfur".


What is sulfur toning of silver?

The black silver sulfide is formed on the surface of metal.


What is the combination of silver and sulfur?

The combination of silver and sulfur is silver sulfide (Ag2S). This is a compound with a metal (silver) and a non-metal (sulfur), so we use the metal's name with the non-metal's name changed to end in -ide.


What metal can be extracted from Argentite?

Silver can be extracted from Argentite, which is a silver sulfide mineral. The process involves smelting the Argentite ore to extract the silver metal.


Is silver sulfide ionic or molecular?

Silver sulfide is an ionic compound, consisting of silver cations (Ag+) and sulfide anions (S2-). It is formed by the transfer of electrons from silver to sulfur, resulting in the formation of an ionic bond.


What is Ag2S in chemistry?

Ag2S is the chemical formula for silver sulfide, a compound made of silver and sulfur. It is a black solid that is insoluble in water. Silver sulfide is commonly found in nature as a mineral called acanthite.


Argentite is a ore of which metal?

Argentite is an ore of silver. It is a sulfide mineral that is a valuable source of silver in mining operations.
