Best Answer

The central atom is Sulfur (S). It is singly bonded to each of the six Chlorines (Cl). Each of the six Chlorines has three lone pairs. Sulfur can have six bonds because it is in the third row and can therefore have an expanded octet.

S is the central atom. You add the 6 chlorines to bond with sulfur with a single bond. THis is allowed because sulfur can be an expanded octet because it is in the third row.
