See wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfuryl_chloride) sulfuryl chloride page for a picture.
You can work out the shape using VSEPR- ignoring pi bonds there are 4 bonding electron pairs - so it will be approximately tetrahedral- (not perfectly as the four substituent atoms are different. (another way of looking at it is that SO2Cl2 is a 32 valence electron molecule - same as SO42- - so expect them to have similar shapes)

∙ 14y agoSulfur dichloride, which SCl2 is, has a molecular shape similar to that of water. The sulfur atom is in the middle with the chlorine atoms bonded to it and creating a bond angle of about 103 degrees (as opposed to the 104.45 degrees of water). A link can be found below to see a diagram of the molecular geometry and learn more.
