electron dot structure of s8?
Answers
The right side one is the correct and the crown shaped is also correct
Hope it helps you^^
Answer: 48 valence electrons .
Explanation: The electron dot structure of S8 can be determined by first finding the total number of valence electrons in the molecule, and then distributing them among the atoms to satisfy the octet rule.
S8 is a molecule composed of eight sulfur (S) atoms, each of which has six valence electrons. The total number of valence electrons in S8 is therefore:
- Total valence electrons = 8 atoms x 6 valence electrons/atom = 48 valence electrons
To draw the electron dot structure, we can represent each S atom by its atomic symbol (S), and then distribute the valence electrons around the atoms in pairs. We start by connecting all of the atoms with single bonds to form an octagon, and then add the remaining electrons as lone pairs on the outermost atoms.
The resulting electron dot structure for S8 is given in the picture attached
In this structure, each S atom is surrounded by eight electrons (either as lone pairs or in covalent bonds), satisfying the octet rule. This structure shows that S8 is a molecule with a puckered ring shape, and is held together by covalent bonding.
