Steps to write the Lewis structure
1. Find the number of valence electrons for each of the atoms in the molecule.
The number of valence electrons is usually the same as the group number where the element is located.

The number of valence electrons for carbon is 4 (group 4)

The number of valence electrons for sulfur is 6 (group 6)

2. Count the total number of valence electrons in the molecule:
Sum the valence electrons from each atom in the molecule

For CS2
• Total valence e. from C: 44 e. x 1 C = 4
• Total valence e. from S: 66 e. x 1s = 6
Total valence e. in the molecule: 4 + 6 = 10

3. Use the octet rule to figure how many octet electrons the atoms should have:
Most atoms need 8 electrons to complete their valence shield
Hydrogen is an exception and needs only 2

For CS2
• Carbon should have 8 valence electrons
• Sulfur should have 8 valence electrons

4. Draw an initial sketch of the molecule by placing the symbol of each atom in a diagram

5. Place the valence electrons of each atom around them, starting from the outer atoms

6. Each bond in a molecule is made up from two electrons.
Each atom in the molecule need to be bonded together to its nearest atom.

Count the number of electrons each atom has after forming a single bond:
Each sulfur atom has 7 electrons, it needs 8

To complete the octet we would need to pair another couple of electrons for each sulfur atom
