Interpretation:
The structure of carbon disulfide needs to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Lewis structure can be shown by each atom in the molecule using the chemical symbol with the electrons. The bond is formed by sharing of valence electrons between the atoms and excess electron is shown as lone pair.
Answer to Problem 40PP
Explanation of Solution
A molecule of carbon disulfide contains the lone pair on S atom and double bond between C and S atoms.
Lewis structure of
First write the electron configuration of carbon and sulphur:
Carbon
Sulphur
Carbon has
In the valence shell configuration, carbon requires
Thus, the structure will be:
The valence shell configuration can be achieved by sharing the valence electron between the atoms.
