In the molecule SCl₂, sulfur makes two covalent bonds. Therefore, two of its six valence electrons need to be unpaired. The orbi

tals with the same energy are known as degenerate orbitals. For example, the p subshell has three degenerate orbital, namely, p_x, p_y, and p_z. How many degenerate orbitals are needed to contain six electrons with two of them unpaired? Express your answer numerically.

Answer:

one degenerate orbital is needed

Explanation:

Sulphur has atomic number 16

electronic configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4

sulphur has 3d subshell which has similar higher energy level  to 3s and 3p because they are in the same principal quantumn shell.

sulphur has 2 bond pairs, 2 lone pairs and 2 unpaired electrons

sulphur obeys octet rule in this compound . the compound undergoes excitation.

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 3d1
