### sulfide:

Barium sulfide
* is colorless when pure.
* looks very similar to barium sulfate.
+ Barium sulfide, Properties: Sulfur compounds :: Barium compounds
  * Barium sulfide is colorless when pure. It can get colored when it is not pure. It reacts slowly with water to make barium hydroxide and hydrogen sulfide. It reacts with acids to make a barium salt and hydrogen sulfide, too
  - Safety
  * Barium sulfide looks very similar to barium sulfate. Barium sulfate is not toxic, while barium sulfide is very toxic. Barium sulfide dissolves in water to make toxic hydrogen sulfide and toxic barium hydroxide. If someone is fed barium sulfide, it would kill them

Dimethyl sulfide
* is the major organic sulfur compound of ecological significance in nature
  - simplest thioether
+ Thioether: Functional groups :: Organosulfur compounds
  * Dimethyl sulfide is the simplest thioether. It is used in important reactions like the Swern oxidation. This makes aldehydes starting from alcohols.

### sulfide:

Potassium sulfide
* colorless solid when it is pure.
* is made by reacting potassium with sulfur.
+ Potassium sulfide, Preparation
  * Potassium sulfide is made by reacting potassium with sulfur. Many times the potassium is dissolved in liquid ammonia. It can also be made by reacting potassium sulfate with carbon. It is made when black powder is burned
  - Properties: Potassium compounds :: Sulfur compounds
  * Potassium sulfide is a colorless solid when it is pure. Sometimes it is not pure and it is yellow-brown. It reacts with water to make KHS, potassium hydrogen sulfide, and potassium hydroxide. It reacts with acids to make hydrogen sulfide and a potassium salt

Selenium sulfide
* is used once a week for the toughest cases
  - to treat dandruff
* kills yeast and inhibits cell turnover.
* poorly known chemical compound.
* smells rather like rotten eggs and is drying and irritating.
+ Selenium disulfide, Properties: Selenium compounds :: Sulfur compounds
  * Selenium sulfide is a poorly known chemical compound. Sometimes it has more selenium, sometimes it has more sulfur. It is an orange solid.

Sodium sulfide
* allows to obtain light blue product of prevailing cristobalite structure.
* is provided as a source of hydrogen sulfide.

Sulfur compound
* Many sulfur compounds are highly aroma active even though present at sub ppm levels
  - possess a dual sensory character
* Some sulfur compounds exist in atmospheres.
* acidify the soil.
* are chemical compounds containing sulfur ions
  - the best known among the many measured toxins that residents actually notice
  - what ignite the bad breath brushfire
* can rid the pesticides and other undesirable substances.
* play a role in many body organs and systems.
+ Sulfur, Properties, Chemical compounds: Chemical elements :: Nonmetals

### sulphide:

Zinc sulfide
* is used in fluorescent bulbs to convert the ultraviolet light to visible light
  - making luminous dials, X-ray and TV screens, and fluorescent lights
  - to convert ultraviolet light to visible light
  - white when pure
+ Zinc sulfide, Properties: Sulfur compounds :: Zinc compounds
  * Zinc sulfide is white when pure. It does not dissolve in water. It can burn at a high temperature to make sulfur dioxide and zinc oxide. It reacts with strong acids to make hydrogen sulfide
  - Uses
  * Zinc sulfide is used to convert ultraviolet light to visible light. It can be doped with copper to make it glow in the dark
+ Zinc, Uses, As zinc compounds: Chemical elements :: Transition metals
  * Zinc oxide can be used for sunscreen or paint pigment. Zinc oxide also is a semiconductor. Zinc chloride is used to preserve wood so it does not rot. Some fungicides have zinc in them. Zinc sulfate is used in dyes and pigments. Zinc sulfide is used in fluorescent bulbs to convert the ultraviolet light to visible light.
