___

Regarding the bonds in FesO₄, Fe and S have an ionic bond, while S and O have covalent bonds.

Elements form bonds to increase their stability. The main types of bonds are:

  • Metallic bonds: they are formed between metals and the electrons are in a delocalized cloud.
  • Ionic bonds: they are formed between metals (lose electrons) and nonmetals (gain electrons)
  • Covalent bonds: they are formed between nonmetals, which share electrons.

Regarding the bonds in FesO₄:

  • Fe is a metal and S a nonmetal, thus they will form ionic bonds.
  • S and O are both nonmetals, thus they will form covalent bonds.

Regarding the bonds in FesO₄, Fe and S have an ionic bond, while S and O have covalent bonds.
