Answer all the questions.
1 This question is about compounds of sulfur.
(a) Potassium sulfide, K2S, shows ionic bonding.
(i) Explain what is meant by ionic bonding.
...........................................................................................................................................
...................................................................................................................................... [1]
(ii) Draw a ‘dot-and-cross’ diagram to show the bonding in K2S.
Show outer electrons only.
[2]
(b) Sulfur difluoride, SF2, shows covalent bonding.
Draw a ‘dot-and-cross’ diagram to show the bonding in SF2.
Show outer electrons only.
[2]
(c) At room temperature, K2S is a solid, but SF2 is a gas.
Use ideas about structure and bonding to explain this difference.
