forms a cyclic (triangular) structure with single bonds between the sulfur atoms.
- Each sulfur atom has:
- Two lone pairs (4 non-bonding electrons).
- One bond with each of the two adjacent sulfur atoms.
- The total valence electrons are 18, distributed to satisfy the octet rule for each sulfur atom.
