How many lone pairs of electrons does the Lewis dot structure of H₂S have around its central atom and what is the shape of the molecule? A) 0, linear B) 0, bent C) 1, triangular planar D) 2, tetrahedral E) 2, bent

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sulfur in the central position has two lone pairs, giving a total of 2 lone pairs around the central atom. The molecule has a bent shape due to the lone pairs causing repulsion and pushing the bonded atoms closer together.
