Draw the lewis structure for the trisulfur molecule. be sure to include all resonance structures that satisfy the octet rule.

Explanation:

Definition of Lewis structure is a drawing of a molecule that illustrates the connectivity of the compound, as well as identifying the lone pairs of electrons available for bonding with other molecules. Lines between atoms in a Lewis structure represent covalent bonds and lone pair electrons are drawn as a pair of dots.

Rules for drawing lewis dot structure

1.Count the number of valence electron each atom brings into the molecule Trisulfur  

S3 = 6 valence electron X 3 = 18 valence electron

2.Put the electron pairs about each atom such that there are 8e- around each atom (octet rule)

with exception of H, which is only surrounded by 2e- . Sometimes it’s necessary to form double  

and triple bonds. Only the elements C, N, O,P and S will form double and triple bonds.

3.If there is not enough e-  to follow the octet rule then the least electronegative atom is left  

short of e-

4.If there are too many e-  to follow the octet rule, then the extra 8e- are placed on the central atom.

Definition of resonance: this is a way of describing bonding in certain molecules or ions by the combination of several contributing structures into a resonance hybrid in valence bond theory

Conclusion: The lewis structure is shown in the attached picture below, including the lewis dots and the resonance structure also satisfy the octet rule.

we can conclude that the melting point of table salt is above room temperature (it's actually 801 deg c). the melting point of mercury must be below room temperature (- 39 deg c).

it should be all of them because it asks if you included all of those in your answer
