Q. The shape of $SCl_{4}$ is best described as a

KVPYKVPY 2016Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

Sulphur has $6$ valence electrons. Out of which it forms $4$ bond pair with chlorine and one pair remain unbonded. Thus, it has $4$ bond pairs and $1$ lone pair. So, the shape of $SCl_{4}$ is best described as a see-saw.
