According to vsepr theory, what is the shape of a molecule of cs2? a bent b trigonal-planar c tetrahedral d linear

D linear

Explanation:

Valence electrons of carbon = 4

Valence electrons of sulfur = 6

The total number of the valence electrons  = 4 + 2(6) = 16

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom in the molecule is complete. So,

The Lewis structure is:

There is no lone pair involved, so, It is of type AB₂.

According to the theory, the atoms will form a geometry in such a way that there is minimum repulsion and maximum stability.

So, it is of linear shape.

the density(ratio between mass and volume as m/v) decreases from top to bottom in periodic table group as the size increases and nuclear charge decreases. but in periods density increases from left to right as atom size decreases and nuclear charge increases.
