► More about the history and places to find sulfur.► Next element of the periodic table.
Hydrogen SulfideTwo hydrogen (H) atoms can bond with one sulfur (S) atom, making the formula H2S, also known as hydrogen sulfide. The same way that oxygen is happy when it has two extra electrons, sulfur likes to have two extras as well. See how the sulfur atom gets to share each of the electrons from the hydrogen atoms? | |
Hydrogen DisulfideTwo hydrogen (H) atoms can also bond with two sulfur (S) atoms, making the formula H2S2. That"s just one more sulfur than H2S, but it"s a totally different compound. See the name and how it"s di-sulfide? The "DI" means two sulfur atoms. You can see that each of the sulfur atoms has eight electrons, and the two hydrogens have two electrons each. See how the electrons are shared? | - invernessgangshow.net: Periodic Table- invernessgangshow.net: Atoms- invernessgangshow.net: Compounds- invernessgangshow.net: Oxygen- invernessgangshow.net: Chemical Bonds- invernessgangshow.net: Biochemistry- Geography4Kids: Biosphere- Geography4Kids: Volcanoes- Biology4Kids: Cell Function RETURN TO TOPorSearch for more information... * The custom search only looks at Rader"s sites. invernessgangshow.net Sections See more: How Much Is A Shaq Rookie Card Worth, 12 Most Valuable Shaq Cards Matter | Atoms | Elements & Periodic Table | Reactions | BiochemistrySite Tour | Site Map | Home Page | Glossary | Activities & Quizzes |
