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)
What else can I help you with?
Is SCL2 trigonal planar?
angular, it has 2 bonss and 2 lone pairs around the S atom
What is the balanced equation for sulfur reacts with molecular chlorine to form sulfur dichloride?
The balanced chemical equation for sulfur reacting with molecular chlorine to form sulfur dichloride is: S(s) + Cl2(g) → SCl2(l)
Is sulfur dichloride a molecular compound?
Yes! Sulfur and Chloride are both non-metals, so they form a molecular compound... not ionic (metal--non-metal)
Is the SCl2 molecule polar or non polar?
The SCl2 molecule is polar because it has a bent molecular geometry with two chlorine atoms that have greater electronegativity than sulfur, resulting in an unequal sharing of electrons and creating a net dipole moment.
What is the correct name for SCl2?
The correct name for SCl2 is sulfur dichloride.
Is SCl2 linear?
No, SCl2 is not linear. It has a bent molecular geometry due to the presence of two lone pairs of electrons on the central sulfur atom, leading to a distorted shape.
Is SCL2 trigonal planar?
angular, it has 2 bonss and 2 lone pairs around the S atom
WILL SCL2 and SCl4 have the same shape as CH4?
No, since SCl2 is bent, SCl4 is distorted tetrahedral and CH4 is tetrahedral.
What is the balanced equation for sulfur reacts with molecular chlorine to form sulfur dichloride?
The balanced chemical equation for sulfur reacting with molecular chlorine to form sulfur dichloride is: S(s) + Cl2(g) → SCl2(l)
Is sulfur dichloride a molecular compound?
Yes! Sulfur and Chloride are both non-metals, so they form a molecular compound... not ionic (metal--non-metal)
What is the vsepr theory used to predict?
According the VSEPR theory of molecular geometry, the geometry of SCl2 would be the same as H2O which is a bent angle
Is the SCl2 molecule polar or non polar?
The SCl2 molecule is polar because it has a bent molecular geometry with two chlorine atoms that have greater electronegativity than sulfur, resulting in an unequal sharing of electrons and creating a net dipole moment.
What is the molecular shape of SCl6?
The molecular shape of SCl6 is octahedral.
What is the name of this compound SCl2?
The compound SCl2 is called sulfur dichloride.
What is the correct name for SCl2?
The correct name for SCl2 is sulfur dichloride.
What is the chemical formula for disulfur difluoride?
The chemical formula for disulfur difluoride is S2F2.
What is the number of lone pairs around the central atom and the molecular geometry of scl2?
angular with 109.5 degree
