What happens when an atom of sulfur combines with two atoms of chlorine to produce sci2? a. each chlorine atom shares a pair of electrons with the sulfur atom. b. an electron is transferred from each chlorine atom to the sulfur atom. c. an electron is transferred from the sulfur atom to each chlorine atom. d. each chlorine atom shares all its valence electrons with the sulfur atom.

A. Each Chlorine atom shares a pair of electrons with the sulfur atom.

Explanation:

it's losing and gaining electrons because of the octet rule! sulfur contains 6 valence electrons and two chlorine atoms, so then to gain and lose chlorine has to share with sulfur!

im bad at explaining but i took the test so ;) its right

A.) Each chlorine atom shares a pair of electrons with the sulfur atom.

10 electrons

Explanation:

The d sublevel has 5 orbitals, so can contain 10 electrons max. And the 4 sublevel has 7 orbitals, so can contain 14 electrons max. In the picture below, the orbitals are represented by the boxes. You can put two electrons in each box.
