Interpretation:
The Lewis structure for silicon disulfide is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The strategy for drawing Lewis structure is mention below.
- Calculate the number of valence electrons present in the molecule.
- Calculate the electron pairs by diving number of valence electrons by 2.
- Determine the bond pairs.
- Determine the lone pairs.
- Check whether the central atom satisfies octet rule.
Answer to Problem 5STP
The Lewis structure for silicon disulfide is shown below.
Therefore, option (B) is the correct option.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option: The valence electron present in silicon disulfide
The number of electron pairs is calculated as shown below.
Among eight electron pairs, four electron pairs are involved in bonding and the remaining four electron pairs are present as lone pairs.
The Lewis structure for silicon disulfide is shown below.
Therefore, option (B) is the correct option.
Reason for incorrect option: The Lewis structure for silicon disulfide
The Lewis structure for silicon disulfide
The Lewis structure for silicon disulfide
