Commonly Tested Lewis Structures

We draw Lewis Structures to predict:

-the shape of a molecule.

-the reactivity of a molecule and how it might interact with other molecules.

-the physical properties of a molecule such as boiling point, surface tension, etc.

CS₂ is sometimes used to fumigate railroad cars and grain elevators.

CS₂ is named Carbon Disulfide.

There are 16 valence electrons available for the Lewis structure for CS₂ .
