Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the formula for the compound formed between hydrogen and sulfur?
  • Step 1: Identify the elements involved. In this case, we have hydrogen (H) and sulfur (S).
  • Step 2: Determine the number of hydrogen atoms needed to bond with one sulfur atom. Hydrogen typically forms one bond.
  • Step 3: Since sulfur can form two bonds, we need two hydrogen atoms to bond with one sulfur atom.
  • Step 4: Write the chemical formula by combining the symbols for hydrogen and sulfur. We write 'H' for hydrogen and 'S' for sulfur.
  • Step 5: Indicate the number of hydrogen atoms in the formula. Since we have two hydrogen atoms, we write 'H2'.
  • Step 6: Combine the hydrogen and sulfur symbols to get the final formula: H2S.
