What is the name of MgS?

Published in Chemistry Nomenclature 1 min read

The name of MgS is magnesium sulfide.

The provided reference video confirms this directly. Dr. B explicitly states that MgS is magnesium sulfide. The naming convention follows the standard rules of ionic compounds, where the metal (magnesium, Mg) is named first, followed by the non-metal (sulfur, S) with the suffix "-ide".
