Answer #1

A)
Cl has 7 valence electrons.
5 are used in forming 5 bonds.
Remaining 2 electrons are present as 1 lone pair.

Central atom has 1 lone pair and 5 bond pair
So, there are 6 electron domain around central atom
So, the electron geometry is Octahedral

Answer: Octahedral, 1

B)
S has 6 valence electrons.
All 6 are used in forming 6 bonds.
Central atom has 0 lone pair and 6 bond pair
So, there are 6 electron domain around central atom
So, the electron geometry is Octahedral
Answer: Octahedral, 0
