In a molecule of calcium sulfide, calcium has two valence electron bonds, and a sulfur atom has six valence electrons. how many lone pairs of electrons are present in the lewis structure of calcium sulfide?

Respuesta :

Below are the choices that can be found elsewhre:

A. one 
B. two 
C. three 
D. four 
E. none

The answer is D which is four 
 Ca has given up 2 electrons to sulfur with six which makes 8 e-, or 4 pairs.

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. 

Answer: (B) or (Two)

Explanation: Chemical formula of calcium sulfide is CaS. Since there are two valence electrons in calcium and six valence electrons in sulfur.So, in order to attain stability, calcium will donate its two extra electrons to the sulfur atom. Therefore, calcium sulfide is an ionic compound.
