metallsooli
Metallsooli is a term that refers to a type of chemical compound. It is formed by the reaction of a metal with a sulfur-containing anion, specifically the sulfide ion (S²⁻). These compounds are generally characterized by their ionic bonding, although some metallsooli compounds can exhibit covalent character. The term itself is a combination of "metall" (metal) and "sooli" (salt), directly indicating their salty nature and metallic component.
Metallsooli compounds are found throughout nature, with many metal sulfides being common minerals. Examples include pyrite
The properties of metallsooli compounds vary greatly depending on the specific metal involved. They can range
