Overharvesting that would be your answer!
What is likely to occur if sulfur forms an ionic bond with another element is <u>sulfur will accept electrons</u>
<u><em> explanation</em></u>
- Ionic bond is formed when a metal react with a non metal.
- Metal loses ( donate) electrons to form cation ( a positively charged ion) , while non metal accept (gain) electrons to form anion ( a negatively charged ion ).
- Sulfur is a non metal therefore it accept electrons if it form an ionic bond with a metal. sulfur accept 2 electrons to form S2- ion
So the empirical formula is Mg3N2
The symbol of the period five element that is a member of the pnicitides family are antimony.
Explanation:
Pnictogen family
- In periodic table, column 15 elements are Pnitogen family.
- The pnictogen elements are Nitrogen-N, arsenic-As, phosphorus-P, bismuth-Bi, antimony-Sb, ununpentium-Uup.
- There are five valence electrons each member of pnictogen family. In group 15 double bonds and triple bonds are formed due to these valence electrons.
- Pnictides, binary compounds of group 15.
Antimony
- Antimony is the element found in period 5 and block p.
- A chemical element, Antimony (Sb) from Latin word stibium and 51 is its atomic number. It is in solid state.
- In ancient times, antimony compounds are used as cosmetic and medicine.
- Appeared as semi metal.
- Electronic configurations of Sb is [Kr] 4d105s25p3.
