What is the name of the hybrid orbitals used by sulfur in scl2? express your answer in condensed form in order of increasing orbital energy as a string without blank space between orbitals. for example, sp2d2 should be entered as sp^2d^2?

sp³

Explanation:

The Lewis structure of SCl₂ is shown below.

The central S atom has two lone pairs and two bonding pairs, for four electron groups.

VSEPR theory predicts that the electron geometry is tetrahedral.

This corresponds to the use of sp³ hybrid orbitals.

each chemical family is represented as a group or column on the periodic table. based on chemical properties, there are 6 types of chemical families. group 1 represents alkali metals, group 2 represents alkaline earth metals, groups 3 to 12 represent transition metals, groups 13 to 16 represent non-metals and other metals, group 17 represents halogens and group 18 represents noble gases.
