Answer :

The steps involved in the lewis-dot structure of [tex]SF_2[/tex] are :

  • First we have to determine the total number of valence electron in [tex]SF_2[/tex].

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
