Question

Drag the tiles to the correct locations. Each tile can be used more than once, but not all tiles will be used. One or more locations will remain empty. Carbonyl sulfide has the chemical formula COS. Carbon has four valence electrons, and oxygen and sulfur each have six valence electrons. Complete the Lewis structure for this covalent compound.

Answer 1

Answer:             xx           xx

                         xxOxxCxxSxx

Explanation:

Sorry for the structure, but since Oxygen and Sulfur belong to group of six they want to share two electrons. Carbon belonging to group four wants to share 4 since its valence shell has four electrons.

Therefore the resulting Lewis structure is linear (like carbon dioxide) with two pairs of lone pairs in each O and S atoms and 0 lone pairs in carbon and two double bond.

Answer 2
