Carbon disulfide is a colorless, volatile, highly flammable liquid with a very unpleasant smell that is used as a solvent in some laboratory applications. The formula for carbon disulfide is CS2. Formal charges can be used to decide whether its connectivity is more likely to be C–S–S or S–C–S.
Part1: Add any nonzero formal charges to the atoms as applicable for the Lewis structure shown with connectivity C–S–S. All valence electrons have been included, and this structure follows the octet rule. If formal charges are equal to zero, they should not be included.
Part2: Add any nonzero formal charges to the atoms as applicable for the Lewis structure shown with connectivity C–S–S. All valence electrons have been included. If formal charges are equal to zero, they should not be included. (This structure is a resonance form of the structure in Part 1.)
part 3: Add any nonzero formal charges to the atoms as applicable for the Lewis structure shown with connectivity S–C–S. All valence electrons have been included, and this structure follows the octet rule. If formal charges are equal to zero, they should not be included.
