sulphide

Compound of sulphur and another element in which sulphur is the more electronegative element (see electronegativity). Sulphides occur in many minerals, for example pyrite, or ‘fool's gold’, which is a sulphide of iron. Some of the more volatile sulphides have extremely unpleasant odours (hydrogen sulphide smells of bad eggs).
