Is disulfur dinitride ionic or molecular?

Answer 1

Sulfur dibromide is a bent molecule. In general bent molecules are polar. The situation is a bit complex with SBr2 - when looking at each S-Br bond the difference in electronegativity is small.

Bromine is slightly more electronegative than sulfur - so you can think of this bond as either non-polar covalent OR slightly polar. If you draw a vector in the direction of the partial charges (dipoles going from sulfur - to bromine) there will be a very slight polarity.

The polarity is very small and since S-Br bonds are typically considered non-polar, many people classify SBr2 as a non-polar molecule since the dipole is very small.

Answer 2

Sulfur dioxide has molecular bonds, which are polar covalent bonds.

Answer 3

SBr2 is a covalent molecule. Both sulfur and bromine are non-metals and share electrons.

Answer 4

Sulfur bromides are covalent compounds.

Answer 5

Disulfur dinitride is a molecular compound. It is made up of nonmetals (sulfur) and forms covalent bonds between its atoms instead of transferring electrons to form ions.

Answer 6

It is a covalent compound.
