Sulfur typically forms the S\u00b2\u207b ion in ionic compounds. In a synthesis reaction, the iron atom can lose electrons (oxidation) and sulfur can gain electrons (reduction) to form an ionic bond.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ionic Bond Formation<\/strong>: Iron reacts with sulfur, and iron atoms lose electrons to form Fe\u00b2\u207a (iron(II)) or Fe\u00b3\u207a (iron(III)) ions, while sulfur gains electrons to form S\u00b2\u207b ions. These oppositely charged ions are attracted to each other, forming an ionic bond. In the case of <strong>iron(II) sulfide (FeS)<\/strong>, the iron is in the +2 oxidation state. For <strong>iron(III) sulfide (Fe\u2082S\u2083)<\/strong>, iron is in the +3 oxidation state.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Insolubility<\/strong>: Iron sulfide (FeS) and iron(III) sulfide (Fe\u2082S\u2083) are generally insoluble in water. This is because the ionic lattice of these compounds is strong and does not easily dissolve in polar solvents like water.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the reaction between iron and sulfur results in the formation of an insoluble salt, iron sulfide (FeS) or iron(III) sulfide (Fe\u2082S\u2083), which is characteristic of a synthesis reaction between a metal and a nonmetal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Synthesis reaction between metal and nonmetal resulting in formation of a insoluble salt of iron The Correct Answer and Explanation is: A synthesis reaction involves the combination of two or more reactants to form a more complex product.
