Best Answer

The compound in question is indeed CSCl2, known as thiophosgene. Cesium Chloride is CsCl,

As to the question, resonance occurs when a molecule has two or more possible bond configurations about the same atom, such as with the alternating single and double bonds often depicted in benzene. Although, the resonance hybrid will remain as the most accurate depiction.

In the case of CSCl2 the central carbon atom is double bonded to a sulfur atom and single bonded to two chlorine atoms. There is no other stable configuration. The sulfur atom is not stable with just one single bond and the chlorine atoms, which already have their octets satisfied, will not accept a double bond from the carbon.

CsCl (not CsCl2) is cesium chloride, and like sodium chloride, or potassium chloride, it is an ionic compound and will not show resonance.

How does resonance affect the sound quality of an instrument?

Resonance does not affect a violin. Resonance is the violins ability to vibrate with the tone that is played. With a high resonance, a violins sound will be heard long after the note is played. With a low level of resonance, a violin will sound dull and immature. Resonance affects the tone quality of a violin, but the violin has a direct relationship to its resonance.

What occurs when vibrations through an object match the object's natural frequency?

Any object in absence of external force vibrates with it's natural frequency. When the frequency of the external forced vibration matches the object's natural frequency, we say that resonance has occurred. In this situation the amplitude of the object's oscillation becomes larger. How much larger depends on the amplitude of the forced vibration.
