Description

A sulfide ion is composed of a lone sulfur atom. Its charge is negative two, giving sulfides this formula: S^2-. Sulfide is a strong base, so solutions of sulfide in water are basic, due to hydrolysis. One well-known ionic compound with a sulfide ion is H_2S. The infamous rotten-egg smell often associated with sulfur originates from this compound. Sodium sulfide nonahydrate is used in the formation of surface functionalized cadmium sulfide quantum dots.
