On the attached picture.

Explanation:

Hello,

In the case, the reaction between 2-iodooctane and sodium nitrite, leads to the formation of an alkyl nitrite and a nitro alkane as shown on the attached picture. Once the reaction began, the salt breaks and the sodium bonds with the iodine from the 2-iodooctane to form sodium iodide, in such a way, a free radical in the second carbon is formed so the NO₂ could bond both as a nitrite and as a nitro radical; therefore, the formed species are octyl 2-nitrite and 2-nitrooctane.

Best regards.

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
