C. 6 Valence electrons. Remember that the family that they are in will determine the number of valence electrons that element will have. Sulfur is in family 16 so it will have 6 Valence electrons.
Answer:
4, 16,
Explanation:
SI2 is sulphur diiodide. Sulphur is in group sixteen (six valence electrons) while iodine is in group 17(seven valence electrons).
Since there are two iodine atoms and one sulphur atom, the molecule has twenty valence electrons. Out of these twenty valence electrons, only four are bonding electrons. The other sixteen electrons include the four nonbonding electrons found on sulphur and the twelve non bonding electrons found on the two iodine atoms having six nonbonding electrons each.
