Sodium sulfide nchintu chijisi mibala yiindene-indene chili amununko uutali kabotu. Ilasangana ama asidi kuti ipange haayidirojeni sulfide. Musamu wakwe uuzwa mumaanzi ulaa alkali loko, aboobo ulizibinkene akuti sulfurated alkali. Ilanyonyoona sulfure kuti ipange sodium polysulfide. Zintu zyamakkampani kanjikanji zilaboneka mbuli pinki, mubala uusalala pyu, naa mubala wamubala wasalala pyu akaambo kabusofwaazi. Nchintu chibola mpawo chikola. Kuti yabikkwa mumuwo, ilafwambaana kusanduka kupanga sodium thiosulfate. Nchintu chibotu loko, kunywika kwacho mu 100g yamaanzi nku 15.4g (a 10°C) antoomwe a 57.3g (a 90°C). Ulanyoneka mbichani mu ethanol mpawo taunyonyooki mu ether.

Zibelesyo zyakusala zyaatala, kweendelezya kabotu muchiindi choonse chakupanga, kusinizya kuti kuli kabotu kuli koonse kwa sodium sulfide.
