Write a lewis structure that obeys the octet rule for socl2 (s is the central atom) and assign formal charges to each atom. draw the molecule by placing atoms on the grid and connecting them with bonds. include all lone pairs of electrons and formal charges.

Answer :  The Lewis-dot structure of is shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is,

As we know that sulfur has '6' valence electrons, chlorine has '7' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in = 6 + 6 + 2(7) = 26

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 18 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to determine the formal charge for each atom.

Formula for formal charge :

Hence, the Lewis-dot structure of is shown below.

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.
