What Other Compounds Can Be Formed From Magnesium And Sulfur?
Magnesium and sulfur can form multiple compounds, including magnesium sulfide (MgS), magnesium disulfide (MgS2), magnesium thiosulfate (MgS2O3), magnesium polysulfides (MgSx, where x > 2), and others. The specific compound formed depends on the reaction conditions, such as the stoichiometry of the reactants, temperature, pressure, and presence of catalysts or other chemicals. Magnesium sulfide is the most commonly observed compound formed from magnesium and sulfur under normal conditions.
