SCl6 So now we count the number of valence electrons each has by seeing what column it's in, (1-8) not counting the columns of the transition metals.
Since Sulfur is in the 6th and Chlorine is in the 7th, and there are 6 chlorines, we can add up all their valence electrons:
6*1+7*6=48 valence electrons.
But remember that electrons come in pairs, either in bonds or as lone pairs. So I usually divide the valence electron number by 2 and just think about placing pairs. It's up to you, but I think it's convenient since we can count "1" in our mind each time we place a bond or a electron pair. So we need to place 24 pairs/bonds.
So we can guess that sulfur is a central atom and draw out a bond from sulfur to each chlorine. Since Sulfur is in the 3rd row it can use d-orbitals to break the octet rule. So when we bond all the chlorines onto sulfur we get:
(see the figure)
