The product of this reaction is magnesium sulfide (MgS).
Sulfur does not react with water under normal conditions. However, when sulfur is in the form of sulfur dioxide (SO2) or hydrogen sulfide (H2S), these compounds can react with water to form sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and sulfurous acid (H2SO3) respectively.
It is stable
Silver generally does not react with oxygen or water. However, it can react with sulfur compounds in the air to form tarnish. Silver can also react with certain acids and salts to form silver compounds.
Copper can also react with sulfur, chlorine, and acids to form different compounds.
No, iodine and sulfur would not typically form an ionic compound. Both iodine and sulfur are nonmetals and tend to form covalent compounds when they react with each other.
No, sulfur and xenon do not typically form an ionic compound since they both tend to exhibit covalent bonding behavior. Ionic compounds are formed between elements with significantly different electronegativities, while covalent compounds are formed between elements with similar electronegativities.
A nonmetal typically forms covalent bonds with other nonmetals or with metalloids. Nonmetals can also react with metals to form ionic compounds. Additionally, nonmetals can combine with nonmetallic elements to form compounds, such as sulfur combining with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide.
Lithium commonly combines with elements such as oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen, and carbon to form various compounds. It can also react with water to form lithium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
Sulfur is a stable element under normal conditions, but it can react with other elements to form compounds. In its elemental form, sulfur exists as a solid at room temperature and does not decompose easily.
Silver does not react with oxygen or water, which is why it doesn't tarnish easily. However, it can react with sulfur compounds in the air to form silver sulfide, which appears as a black tarnish on the surface of silver objects.
Sulfur is relatively unreactive with the constituents of the Earth's atmosphere and crust under normal conditions. (However, sulfur can react with many of these materials under favorable conditions.)
Gallium reacts with elements like oxygen, sulfur, and halogens to form compounds such as gallium oxide (Ga2O3), gallium sulfide (Ga2S3), and gallium halides (e.g. GaCl3).
