How do you draw a Lewis structure for SCl2?

Answer 1

Cl - S - ClFollowing the above structure, each chlorine atom has 3 pairs of electrons, and the sulfur has 2 lone pairs of electrons.

Answer 2

The Lewis dot structure for sulfur dichloride starts with the S for sulfur. To the left and right of the S are dashes that lead to one Cl on each side. Finishing it, every non connected side of the chlorine atoms has two dots and the top and bottom of the sulfur atom has two dots.

Answer 3

Cl-O-S-O-Cl would be my best bet. That way the octet rule is obeyed and everything is fine!

That's wrong! there is a double bond on both the O's that connect to Sulfer. This molecule is a special exception to the octet rule. Remember, oxygen prefers two lone pairs and sulfur in the third period, allowing it to have MORE than eight electrons!!!

Answer 4

Cl - S - Cl

The above structure should have 4 pairs of electrons around each chlorine atom, 1 bonding and 3 lone pairs, and the sulfur atom has 4 pairs of electrons 2 bonding and 2 lone pairs.

See attached link for a picture.

Answer 5

Tricky but..

6 H's on outside, 2 C in middle, Br with four dots between the two C's and two of the H's. Then 1 C on the other side between a C and a H.

Answer 6

The Lewis structure of S2Cl2 is Cl-S-S-Cl with 3 lone pairs around the Cl and two lone pairs around the S.

Answer 7

Sulfur has two pairs of unpaired electrons (4 unpaired electrons).

Each chlorine atom shares one pair of electrons with the sulfur atom, resulting in two S-Cl bonds.

Answer 8

It is see-saw shaped.
