Draw the lewis structure of sf2 showing all lone pairs.
1 answer:
Answer :
The steps involved in the lewis-dot structure of are :
- First we have to determine the total number of valence electron in
.
Number of valence electrons in S = 6
Number of valence electrons in two F atom = 2(7) = 14
Total number of valence electrons = 6 + 14 = 20 electrons
- Placing a bonding pair of electrons between the atoms to form the chemical bonds.
Electrons used in bonding = 4
- The remaining electrons are used as a lone pair for central or terminal atoms to achieve an octet to finish the Lewis dot structure.
Electrons used as a lone pair = 20 - 4 = 16
