To draw the Lewis structure for SCl2, start by noting that sulfur has 6 valence electrons and each chlorine atom contributes 7 valence electrons. Place the sulfur atom in the center and connect one chlorine atom to each side. Place lone pairs on the sulfur atom to satisfy its octet and then place lone pairs on the chlorine atoms to complete their octets. Double-check that all atoms have a full octet and that the formal charges are minimized.
Cl-O-S-O-Cl would be my best bet. That way the octet rule is obeyed and everything is fine!
That's wrong! there is a double bond on both the O's that connect to Sulfer. This molecule is a special exception to the octet rule. Remember, oxygen prefers two lone pairs and sulfur in the third period, allowing it to have MORE than eight electrons!!!
To draw a Lewis structure for Be2+, start by writing the symbol for beryllium. Since Be2+ has a 2+ charge, it has lost two electrons. Place the two electrons as individual dots around the beryllium symbol, as there is no other atom bonded to it. The Lewis structure for Be2+ is simply Be with two dots around it.
Cl has 7 electrons. If you draw Cl^-, there are 8 electrons and a minus 1 charge. What do you want to draw? And what do you mean by "odd" electrons?
Valence electrons are used to draw Lewis structures of molecules and atoms. These electrons are the outermost electrons of an atom that participate in bonding.
To draw a Lewis structure of a molecule or atom, you would typically use symbols to represent the atoms and lines to represent the bonds between atoms. The number of valence electrons for each atom is also considered to determine how the atoms are connected in the structure. Additionally, lone pairs of electrons on atoms are shown to complete their octets and achieve stability.
To draw the Lewis structure for CO2, place the carbon atom in the center and the two oxygen atoms on either side. Carbon forms double bonds with each oxygen atom to satisfy the octet rule. The Lewis structure for CO2 will have a total of 16 valence electrons.
The name of the hybrid orbitals used by sulfur in SCl2 is sp^3. Valence bond theory predicts that SCl2 will have two single bonds and two lone pair of electrons on the central sulfur atom. This is exactly what you will see if you draw the Lewis dot structure.
Will this link help you?, it is quite impossible to draw a Lewis dot structure in this simple text editor. See related links.
To draw a Lewis structure for Be2+, start by writing the symbol for beryllium. Since Be2+ has a 2+ charge, it has lost two electrons. Place the two electrons as individual dots around the beryllium symbol, as there is no other atom bonded to it. The Lewis structure for Be2+ is simply Be with two dots around it.
The Lewis structure for a nitric oxide ion (NO) has a nitrogen atom in the center with a single bond to an oxygen atom and a positive charge on the nitrogen atom.
No, NH3 is not a resonance structure. Resonance occurs when it is possible to draw multiple valid Lewis structures for a molecule, but for NH3, there is only one correct Lewis structure based on the arrangement of the atoms and the octet rule.
The Lewis structure for NH3 shows nitrogen in the center with three hydrogen atoms bonded around it. Each hydrogen atom is connected to the nitrogen atom by a single bond.
This website is sooooooooooo slow never has answers

The compound SCl2 is called sulfur dichloride.
The correct name for SCl2 is sulfur dichloride.
