Question

Which of the following statement is true about the most stable Lewis structure for $C{S}_2$?

• A. There are no loan pairs in molecule
• B. All bonds are double bonds
• C. The central atom does not have an octet of electrons
• D. A sulphur atom must be the central atom for the structure to be stable

Answer 1

The correct option is B All bonds are double bonds

The above figure shows the Lewis dot structure of $C{S}_2$.

• There are 2 lone pairs on each sulphur atom.
• All the bonds are double bonds.
  
• The central atom, Carbon has an octet of electrons.
• The central atom is Carbon, not sulphur.

Hence, option B is correct.
