the charge on a sulfide ion formed from sulphur is -2.
true
false

Explanation:

Sulfur (S) has 6 valence electrons. It gains 2 electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration. Gaining electrons gives it a negative charge. The number of electrons gained is 2, so the charge is -2. The sulfide ion is \(S^{2 -}\).

Answer:

True
