Yes the sulfur needs to have two more electrons to fill the octet, and chlorine only needs one. So there are two chlorines to give sulfur one electron. The whole molecule is covalently bonded so the electrons are shared between the chlorines and the sulfur so that both the elements octets are filled.

from there it should be obvious.

∙ 11y agoYes, SeCl6 violates the octet rule, since Se has more than 8 electrons in this compound.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo. It obeys the octet rule for the fluorine atoms but not for Se (which has 12 electrons in its valence shell.)

CF4 Doesn't violate the Octet Rule, the rest do.

Do Cu plus and Cu2 plus plus violate the octet rule?
The octet rule does not apply to transition metals.

The octet rule does not apply to transition metals.
Which one doesn't follow the octet rule nh3 cf4 bcl3 ash3 hcl?
Boron trichloride does not follow the octet rule. Boron does not allow the eight required electrons in the outer shell.
Which three elements violate the octet rule?
The octet rule cannot be satisfied in molecules whose total number of valence electrons is an odd number.There are also molecules in which an atom has fewer, or more, than an octet of valence electrons.
Does BeH2 violate the octet rule?
The octet rule only applies to elements that are heavy enough to have reached the second shell of electrons. In the first shell, the octet rule does not apply because the first shell is completed with only two electrons, not eight. So no, the octet rule does not apply to beryllium hydride.
What is the formula for the compound boron chloride?
BCl3 is the formula for Boron Chloride. As a matter of interest it does not obey the octet rule. It is also called a Lewis Acid.
What is the Lewis formula for the octet rule for the ions ClO2?
There is ClO2 and ClO2^-. For the chlorite anion (ClO2^-) the Cl will have 10 electrons and will violate the octet rule. For ClO2, all elements will have 8 electrons.
How does an atom of boron become stable?
In general, boron will form 3 covalent bonds, using each of its 3 valence shell electrons (sharing them). This will of course violate the octet rule, but obeys the sextet rule, and this is what makes boron stable. It (along with aluminum, eg.) do not obey the octet rule.
