Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) is covalent. This is determined because the compound begins with a nonmetal. When any compound begins with a nonmetal, it is covalent. If it were to begin with a metal, such as Magnesium Bromide, then it would be ionic due to the fact that the compound begins with a metal.

∙ 11y agoSulfur can form covalent and ionic bonds.
For example sulfur S8 has a ring structure. SO2 is a molecular covalent bonded compound as is CS2
Sulfur can form ionic bonds for example with highly electropositive elements, often forming the S2- ion although there is also a disulfide ion S22-.

Is sulphur covalent or ionic?
sulphure is a covalent bond
Is sulphur and carbon an ionic or a covalent bond?
Covalent because sulphur and oxygen both have six electrons on the outer shells so they can't give them away to be filled. they need to share. note: Sulphur Dioxide has one sulphur atom and two oxygen atoms.
What is the ionic bond of S and Br?
Sulphur and bromine generally form covalent bond and not ionic bond.
Is H2S a covalent bond?
NO!!! It is a compound of hydrogen and sulphur. The bonds between hydrogen and sulphur are covalent. H2S ( hydrogen sulphide) is the sulphur analogue of water. H2S is the bad eggs smell that is given off from rotten eggs.
Is SF5 has covalent bond?
yes. sulphur and fluorine both are non metals so form the covalent bonds.
Is sulphur covalent or ionic?
sulphure is a covalent bond
Is sulphur dioxide made of ionic compound?
No. sulphur dioxide has polar covalent bond and is a polar covalent compound.
Is sulphur and carbon an ionic or a covalent bond?
Covalent because sulphur and oxygen both have six electrons on the outer shells so they can't give them away to be filled. they need to share. note: Sulphur Dioxide has one sulphur atom and two oxygen atoms.
What is the chemical bonding present in sulphur dioxide?
covalent bond
What type of bond does phosphorus and sulphur make?
Phosphorous and sulfur will form a covalent bond.
What is the ionic bond of S and Br?
Sulphur and bromine generally form covalent bond and not ionic bond.
Is H2S a covalent bond?
NO!!! It is a compound of hydrogen and sulphur. The bonds between hydrogen and sulphur are covalent. H2S ( hydrogen sulphide) is the sulphur analogue of water. H2S is the bad eggs smell that is given off from rotten eggs.
Is SF5 has covalent bond?
yes. sulphur and fluorine both are non metals so form the covalent bonds.
Is H2 covalent or ionic?
H2S is a covalent compound. Since, both Hydrogen and Sulphur are non-metals therefore, they bond together by sharing electrons.
What are likely to form a covalent bond aluminum and oxygen sulphur and oxygen magnesium and chlorine copper and copper?
Sulfur oxides are covalent compounds.
Is calcium sulfide a ionic or covalent bond?
It has a Covalent bond 6 Electrons from the Sulphur atom are shared with the 2 electrons of the Calcium atm. It has a Covalent bond 6 Electrons from the Sulphur atom are shared with the 2 electrons of the Calcium atm.
A bond in which atoms share electrons is called a?
The type of bond in which two atoms share electrons is called a covalent bond.
