Question:

Draw the Lewis dot structure of Mesyl Chloride {eq}(CH_{3}SO_{2}Cl). {/eq}

Determine the total number of valence shell electrons from the atoms in the formula.

Lewis dot structure:

A Lewis dot structure is drawn by using the total number of valence electrons available from constituting atoms. In a Lewis dot structure, all the constituting atoms should fulfil octet except H. The least electronegative atom (except H) is considered as the central atom in the Lewis dot structure.
