Question

good morning to all plz follow me i will gollow back you and i need your help plz draw a dot structure of. (SOCL2)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sulfur is sometimes described as a hypervalent atom, or one that has more than eight valence electrons. This is possible to some extent; sulfur can indeed utilize its d-orbitals for bonding. However, recent quantum mechanical calculations suggest that the extent of this utilization is negligible. Therefore, your book is most likely representing the Cl2SO molecule as a "charge-separated" molecule.

EDIT: Upon further thought this still makes no sense. Charge is conserved and thionyl chloride should always have 26 electrons (no matter how they are distributed). So perhaps, due to the high degree of ionic character in the S−Cl and S−O bonds, the missing two electrons are "dispersed" among these ligands. (This is speculation). Perhaps your book is genuinely in error. Perhaps they did not count a lone pair on the central sulfur atom or otherwise miscounted the number of electrons?
