  • FeS Formula: Understanding Iron(II) Sulfide Composition
    The formula for Iron II sulfide is FeS.

    Here's why:

    * Iron II indicates that the iron ion has a +2 charge (Fe²⁺).

    * Sulfide refers to the sulfur ion, which has a -2 charge (S²⁻).

    Since the charges are equal and opposite, they cancel each other out, resulting in a simple 1:1 ratio of iron to sulfur in the compound.
