<span> The </span>formula mass<span> is calculated by adding up all the atomic </span>masses <span>for every atom in the </span>formula<span>. First, we need to know the atomic masses of the atoms involved.
H = 1.01 amu
S = 32.06 amu
Formula mass = 2 x </span>1.01 amu + 2 x 32.06 amu = 66.14 formula mass unit
The atoms electrical charge would be 0. As the electrical charge is calculated by taking the number of protons and subtracting it by the number of electrons. In this case the result is 0. (3-3).
Atoms combine as the electrons from each atom are attracted to the nuclei of the atoms. This results in bonds ranging from 100% covalent to bonds with high ionic character. The combination of atoms to form compounds occurs when the compounds being formed are at lower energy than the original atoms
