dihydrogen sulfide

Explanation:

The compound \( H_2S \) is named hydrogen sulfide. When naming binary compounds (compounds with two elements), for non - metal - non - metal compounds like \( H_2S \), we use the base names of the elements. The prefix "di -" is not used in the common name for \( H_2S \) as it is a well - known compound. Hydrogen is the first element and sulfide (from sulfur) is the second.

Hydrogen sulfide
