Silver-plated utensils were popular before stainless steel became widely used to make eating utensils. Silver tarnishes when it comes in contact with hydrogen sulfide, H2S, which is found in the air and in some foods. However, stainless steel does not tarnish when it comes in contact with hydrogen sulfide.
Draw a Lewis electron-dot diagram for the compound that tarnishes silver.

The Lewis electron-dot diagrams for three substances are shown below.
Describe, in terms of valence electrons, how the chemical bonds form in the substance represented in diagram 1.
Allow 1 credit. Acceptable responses include, but are not limited to:
• Valence electrons are lost by potassium and gained by bromine.
• The ions form as a result of a transfer of electrons between the atoms.
