Sodium (symbol, Na) has 1+ charge associated with it.
Sulfur (symbol, S) has a 2- charge associated with it.
So for every one molecule of sulfur, you need two molecules of sodium to balance out the charges so the ratio (or formula) would be:
Na2S (s)
The name of this ionic compound would be Sodium sulfide :)
Sodium sulfide (Na2S), or disodium sulfide as it is sometimes called, is a salt. As such, the sodium atoms form an ionicbond to the sulfur atom.
which bond is formed when sodium reacts with sulphur? which bond is formed when sodium reacts with sulphur?
An ionic bond.
It would be written as Na2S
Yes it does, forming ionic compound, Na2S (sodium sulfide).
covalent
na3S
ionic bond
An ionic bond as there is an actual transfer of electrons between the two elements in the product, Sodium Chloride. Sodium gives away one electron in order to become stable, i.e., get noble gas configuration and chlorine accepts that electron (given away by Sodium) to become stable. Thus, an ionic bond is formed between them.
The sodium and sulfur elements make the compound of sodium sulfide or Na(2)S. *(2)=subscript 2 The reason for this is because this is an example of an ionic bond (or a bond between a metal and a non-metal) in this case the Sodium is a metal and the sulfur is a non-metal. Since sodium has a charge of +1 and sulfur has a charge of -2 there has to be 2 sodium and one sulfur, thus making the charges of the two elements cancel out.
The pair of electrons is shared to form a covalent bond.
A covalent bond will be formed between these two atoms. As a reule of thumb, a two nonmetals will always forma covalent bond.
two
A polar covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between sulfur and nitrogen.
The ionic bond of sodium chloride is formed when chlorine gains an electron from sodium.
It is a covalent bond
a metal and a nonmetal such as sodium and sulfur which would make sodium sulfide

The ionic bond of sodium chloride is formed when chlorine gains an electron from sodium.
The ionic bond is formed because it is a strong electrostatic attraction between sodium and chlorine ions.
The pair of electrons is shared to form a covalent bond.
A covalent bond will be formed between these two atoms. As a reule of thumb, a two nonmetals will always forma covalent bond.
Disulphide bonds. A covalent bond between two sulfur atoms.
Sodium Chloride is an Electro-valent Bond which is formed between an anion of Chlorine (Chloride) and a cation of Sodium...
