Similarities
- Both lithium and sulfur are elements that can be found on the Periodic Table.
- Both lithium and sulfur are solids at room temperature.
- Both lithium and sulfur have very high melting/boiling points.
Differences
- Lithium is a metal. Sulfur is a non-metal
- Lithium is lustrous (shiny) in appearance. Sulfur is not.
- Lithium is a good conductor of electricity and heat. Sulfur is not.
- Lithium is malleable (able to be hammered into different shapes) and ductile (able to be draw into a wire). Sulfur is brittle.
- In chemical reactions, lithium tends to lose electrons whereas sulfur tends to gain electrons.
- Sulfur has a greater electronegativity (affinity to electrons) compared to lithium.
- Sulfur has a larger atomic radius than lithium.
- The 1st ionisation energy (minimum energy required to remove the first electron from the valence shell of a gaseous atom) of sulfur is greater than that of lithium.

What does S stand for in the periodic table?
S stands for Sulfur.
What date was sulfur discovered?
In earlier times, Sulfur or Brimstone, was use widely my the Chinese for gunpowder in around the year 1044. BUT Antoine Lavoisier agued that it was an element NOT a compound in the year 1777.
Mineral is matches made of?
Sulfur, as a native mineral, or from the mineral pyrite, is used in the manufacture of matches.
Would sulfur hexafluoride be classified as an ionic compound?
Sulfur hexafluoride has covalent bonds.
What is the correct formula between the compounds lithium and sulfur?
Lithium (Li) reacts with sulfur (S) to produce lithium sulfide Li2S.
What is the chemical compound formed between lithium and sulfur?
Lithium sulfide
What would be the formula of the compound formed between Lithium and sulfur?
The formula for the compound between Lithium and Sulfur is Li2S because Lithium has a +1 charge while Sulfur has a -2. So for it to be stable, there needs to be two Lithium atoms attached to one Sulfer.
What are the similarity between a sulfur atom and a sulfur molecule?
A sulfur molecule contain more atoms.
What is the formula for the compound formed between lithium and sulfur?
Lithium sulfate - Li2SO4 Lithium sulphide - Li2S
What is the chemical formula for compound formed between lithium and sulfur?
Lithium sulfate - Li2SO4 Lithium sulphide - Li2S
Chemical compound formed between lithium and sulfur?
Lithiumsulfide
Similarity of sulfur molecule and sulfur dioxide molecule?
The similarity of sulfur molecule and the sulfur dioxide molecule is the type of bond.
What is the similarity's between a sulfur atom and sulfur molecule?
A sulfur molecule contains many sulfur atoms. These atoms combined together to form sulfur molecule i.e. S8.
Would sulfur and lithium cause a ionic or a molecular compound?
When lithium and sulfur combine, they do so as Li2S (lithium sulfide). This is an ionic compound.
Which three elements are combined in lithium sulfate?
Lithium + sulfur +oxygen
What is LiSCN?
Lithium Sulfur cyanide
