Silver and sulfur bond to form silver sulfide, or Ag2S. The chemical equation looks like this:
2Ag + S -> Ag2SSilver always loses one electron in chemical reactions, giving it a +1 charge. Sulfur, on the other hand, always gains two electrons in chemical reactions, giving it a -2 charge.
In order to form a balanced molecule, two silver ions (with a collective charge of +2) bond with a single ion of sulfur (with a charge of -2) to create a molecule with a charge of 0.
