8. What Is The Boiling Point Of Magnesium Sulfide?

Magnesium sulfide (MgS) is an ionic compound with a high melting point of approximately 2,082°C. However, it does not have a boiling point in the traditional sense as it decomposes before it reaches its boiling point due to its ionic nature. When heated, magnesium sulfide undergoes thermal decomposition into its constituent elements, magnesium and sulfur. Therefore, it is incorrect to assign a boiling point for magnesium sulfide.
