To name compounds, usually, they are a combination of a metal and a nonmetal, between nonmetals and between metals. The two elements here are ammonium (NH₄) and sulfur (S). These are both nonmetals. When you name the compound, start by ammonium, followed by sulfur plus a suffix of -ide. The compound is ammonium sulfide.

<u>Answer:</u> The name of the given compound is ammonium sulfide.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given a chemical compound having chemical formula of (NH_4)_2S. This is formed by the combination of ammonium (NH_4^+) ions and sulfur S^{2-} ions.

The given compound is an ionic compound because complete transfer of electrons takes place from one atom to another atom.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

  • Positive ion is written first.
  • The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.
  • In case of transition metals, the oxidation state are written in roman numerals in bracket in front of positive ions.

Hence, the name of the given compound is ammonium sulfide.

Which word best discribes entropy
salantis [7]

Entropy, the measure of a system's thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work. Because work is obtained from ordered molecular motion, the amount of entropy is also a measure of the molecular disorder, or randomness, of a system.
