question sulfur difluoride consists of a central sulfur atom with a fluorine atom on each side. draw a model of the molecule formed by putting lines between the atoms to represent bonds so that each atom has the correct number of bonds.

question sulfur difluoride consists of a central sulfur atom with a fluorine atom on each side. draw a model of the molecule formed by putting lines between the atoms to represent bonds so that each atom has the correct number of bonds.

Answer

Answer:

F - S - F

Explanation:

Step1: Determine valence electrons

Sulfur has 6 valence electrons and fluorine has 7 valence electrons.

Step2: Satisfy octet rule

Sulfur forms single - bonds with two fluorine atoms. Each fluorine shares one electron with sulfur and sulfur shares one electron with each fluorine. This gives each atom a full outer shell (octet for F and 8 - electron configuration for S considering the bonds). So the structure is F - S - F.
