Mercury sulfide Mercury sulfide Mercury sulfide, mercuric sulfide, mercury sulphide, or mercury(II) sulfide is a chemical compound composed of the chemical elements mercury and sulfur. It is represented by the chemical formula HgS. It is virtually insoluble in water. HgS is dimorphic with two crystal forms: Crystals of red, α-HgS, are optically active. This is caused by the Hg-S helices in the structure. β-HgS is precipitated as a black powder when HS is bubbled through solutions of Hg(II) salts. β-HgS is unreactive to all but concentrated acids. Mercury metal is produced from the cinnabar ore by roasting in air and condensing the
