Question

draw the lewis dot diagram for a s⁺ cation.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine sulfur's valence electrons

Sulfur (S) is in Group 16 of the periodic table and has 6 valence electrons. A $S^{+}$ cation has lost 1 electron, so it has 5 valence electrons.

Step2: Draw the Lewis - dot diagram

Place the symbol 'S' in the center. Then, place 5 dots around the symbol to represent the 5 valence electrons.

Answer:

The Lewis - dot diagram has the symbol 'S' with 5 dots around it.
