The Lewis dot symbol for the S ^2- ion is C) S^2-

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The S ^2- ion has a sulfur atom (S) and two oxygen atoms (O). Sulfur has 6 valence electrons and oxygen has 6 valence electrons. The negative charge of the ion indicates an additional electron, totalling 18 valence electrons. The Lewis dot symbol for this ion would have: - The sulfur atom in the center with six valence electrons around it (one dot represents one valence electron). - The two oxygen atoms each sharing two pairs of electrons with the sulfur atom. This gives each oxygen atom 8 valence electrons and completes the octet rule. The Lewis dot symbol for S ^2- ion looks like: B) 11ea7498_3a46_2d16_a57a_c9ae99ebf16a_TB3247_11
