Answer:
Explanation:
Definition of Lewis structure is a drawing of a molecule that illustrates the connectivity of the compound, as well as identifying the lone pairs of electrons available for bonding with other molecules. Lines between atoms in a Lewis structure represent covalent bonds and lone pair electrons are drawn as a pair of dots.
Rules for drawing lewis dot structure
1. Count the number of valence electron each atom brings into the molecule Trisulfur
S3 = 6 valence electron X 3 = 18 valence electron
2. Put the electron pairs about each atom such that there are 8e- around each atom (octet rule)
with exception of H, which is only surrounded by 2e- . Sometimes it’s necessary to form double
and triple bonds. Only the elements C, N, O,P and S will form double and triple bonds.
3. If there is not enough e- to follow the octet rule then the least electronegative atom is left
short of e-
4. If there are too many e- to follow the octet rule, then the extra 8e- are placed on the central atom.
Definition of resonance: this is a way of describing bonding in certain molecules or ions by the combination of several contributing structures into a resonance hybrid in valence bond theory
Conclusion: The lewis structure is shown in the attached picture below, including the lewis dots and the resonance structure also satisfy the octet rule.
