Where do Electrons escape from ?
SCl2 , for the central S neutral counting : S contributes 6 electrons , each chlorine radical contributes one each : 6 +2 (1) = 8 valence electrons ionic counting : S2 + contributes 4 electrons , each chloride anion contributes 2 : 4 +2 (2) = 8 valence electrons conclusion : see discussion for H2S above .
