Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct Lewis dot structure for CClS (carbon, chlorine, sulfur) shows carbon at the center with two single bonds to chlorine and sulfur, and a double bond to oxygen. This results in 2 single bonds (C-Cl and C-S), 1 double bond (C=O), and 8 lone electron pairs (3 pairs on chlorine, 3 pairs on sulfur, and 2 pairs on oxygen).
