SCl2 is a simple bent molecule with bond angle of 103 0 and bond length 201 pm. There are four electron pairs around the sulfur, and in VSEPR theory these will be arranged so that the lone pairs repel the bonding pairs slightly more than the bonding pairs repel each other. this leads to a reduction of the angle from the ideal tetrahedral angle of 109.5 0.
No, since SCl2 is bent, SCl4 is distorted tetrahedral and CH4 is tetrahedral.
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.
The compound SCl2 is called sulfur dichloride.
The correct name for SCl2 is sulfur dichloride.
The chemical formula for disulfur difluoride is S2F2.
The covalent compound name for SCl2 is sulfur dichloride.
The bond angle of the molecule SCl2 is approximately 103 degrees.
Yes because there are 4 total pairs and 2 shared pairs
The electronegativity of SCl2 is determined by the individual electronegativities of the atoms involved, which are sulfur (S) and chlorine (Cl). Sulfur has an electronegativity of 2.58, while chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.16. Therefore, the electronegativity of SCl2 is closer to that of chlorine.

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)
Four sulfur chlorides are known today: - SCl2 - S2Cl2 - S3Cl2 - SCl4
