Is CS2 an Ionic Compound?
Best answer

Nah, CS2 isn't an ionic compound, it's actually a covalent one. In chemistry speak, ionic compounds happen when there's a transfer of electrons between metals and nonmetals. But in CS2, which is carbon disulfide, both carbon and sulfur are nonmetals. They share electrons instead of transferring them, which is what makes CS2 a covalent compound. Hope that clears it up!

Short answer: No. CS2 (carbon disulfide) is covalent, not ionic.

Absolutely not. People often get confused, but remember, CS2 is all about sharing electrons between nonmetals, making it a covalent bond. Ionic is more of a give-and-take relationship. Chemistry 101!
