'''Calcium sulfide''' is the ] with the formula CaS. This white material crystallizes in cubes like rock salt. CaS has been studied as a component in a process that would recycle ], a product of ]. Like many salts containing ] ions, CaS typically has an odour of ], which results from small amount of this gas formed by hydrolysis of the salt. '''Calcium sulfide''' is the ] with the formula ]]. This white material crystallizes in cubes like rock salt. CaS has been studied as a component in a process that would recycle ], a product of ]. Like many salts containing ] ions, CaS typically has an odour of ], which results from small amount of this gas formed by hydrolysis of the salt.


In terms of its atomic structure, CaS crystallizes in the same motif as ] indicating that the bonding in this material is highly ]. The high melting point is also consistent with its description as an ionic solid. In the crystal, each ] ion is surrounded by an ] of six Ca<sup>2+</sup> ions, and complementarily, each Ca<sup>2+</sup> ion surrounded by six S<sup>2<nowiki>&minus;</nowiki></sup> ions.
