  • Lewis Structures of SF2: Understanding Bonding Equivalents
    Two equivalent Lewis structures are necessary to describe the bonding in SF2.

    The first structure has a double bond between the sulfur atom and one of the fluorine atoms, and a single bond between the sulfur atom and the other fluorine atom. The second structure has a double bond between the sulfur atom and the other fluorine atom, and a single bond between the sulfur atom and the first fluorine atom. Both structures have the same number of valence electrons and the same overall charge, so they are equivalent.
