What is S 2 in Chem?
Sulfide
Sulfide(2-) is a divalent inorganic anion obtained by removal of both protons from hydrogen sulfide. It is a conjugate base of a hydrosulfide. Chemical groups containing the covalent sulfur bonds -S-. The sulfur atom can be bound to inorganic or organic moieties.
What is a common chemical name?
A common name is defined by the IUPAC as a name that unambiguously defines a chemical, yet does not follow the current systematic naming convention. An example of a common name is acetone, which has the systematic name 2-propanone.
What is the element name for S?
sulfur
sulfur (S), also spelled sulphur, nonmetallic chemical element belonging to the oxygen group (Group 16 [VIa] of the periodic table), one of the most reactive of the elements. Pure sulfur is a tasteless, odourless, brittle solid that is pale yellow in colour, a poor conductor of electricity, and insoluble in water.
How do you write chemical names?
When writing formula, the positive atom or ion comes first followed by the name of the negative ion. The chemical name for common table salt is sodium chloride. The periodic table shows that the symbol for sodium is Na and the symbol for chlorine is Cl. The chemical formula for sodium chloride is NaCl.
What are some examples of chemical elements?
An element (also called a “chemical element”) is a substance made up entirely of atoms having the same atomic number; that is, all of the atoms have the same number of protons. Hydrogen, helium, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, gold, silver, lead, and uranium are well-known examples of elements.
What are all the chemical elements?
A chemical element is a pure chemical substance consisting of one type of atom distinguished by its atomic number, which is the number of protons in its nucleus. Elements are divided into metals, metalloids , and non-metals. Familiar examples of elements include carbon, oxygen, silicon, arsenic, aluminium , iron, copper, gold, mercury, and lead.
What are some examples of chemical symbols?
Some chemical symbols are the short forms of their English names. For example, H is the chemical symbol of hydrogen. Some other chemical symbols are the short forms of their Latin names. For example, Na is the chemical symbol of sodium which is called ‘ Natrium ‘ in Latin. Other examples: Iron – Fe – Ferrous.
What do chemical symbols identify?
In this lesson you learned that a chemical symbol is a shorthand way to represent an element and that each element on the periodic table has a unique chemical symbol. Chemical symbols are used to standardize the ‘language of chemistry’ and to identify elements and atoms in a chemical formula easily.
