Draw the Lewis Structure of NS2-. How many lone pairs are present?
Added by Karen K.
Step 1
Nitrogen (N) has 5 valence electrons, sulfur (S) has 6 valence electrons, and the negative charge adds an extra electron. So, the total number of valence electrons is 5 (N) + 6 (S) + 2 (for the extra electron) = 13 electrons. Show more…
