A glowing molecular diagram of carbon disulfide (CS2) with a central blue 'C' atom double-bonded to two yellow 'S' atoms, each with two electron lone pairs.

1. Carbon disulphide properties (a) Draw an electron diagram of carbon disulphide, showing electrons in the outermost shells only. Answer: The electron diagram for a molecule of carbon disulfide (\(\mathbf{CS}_{\mathbf{2}}\)) shows the carbon atom in the center double-bonded to two sulfur atoms. Each sulfur atom has two lone pairs of electrons, and the carbon atom has no lone pairs. The molecule is linear. The diagram should show 4 shared electrons between C and each S, and 4 non-shared electrons (2 lone pairs) on each S atom. See more
