Al2s3

Al2S3 is a chemical compound composed of two atoms of aluminum (Al) and three atoms of sulfur (S). It is also known as aluminum sulfide.

The molecular formula for Al2S3 indicates that it contains two aluminum cations, each with a charge of +3, and three sulfide anions, each with a charge of -2. The compound's overall charge is therefore neutral, as the charges on the cations and anions balance out.

Aluminum sulfide is a grayish-white solid with a melting point of 1,100 °C (2,012 °F) and a boiling point of 1,500 °C (2,732 °F). It is insoluble in water, but can react with acids to produce hydrogen sulfide gas.

Aluminum sulfide has a range of applications, including as a reducing agent in metallurgy, for the production of rubber chemicals, and in the paper industry as a sizing agent. It is also used in the manufacture of batteries, as well as in the petroleum industry as a hydrogen sulfide scavenger. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential use in materials science, such as in the production of semiconductors and ceramics.
