Which statement is true about the most stable Lewis structure for $$CS_{2}$$ ?

AThere are no lone pairs in molecule
BAll bonds are double bonds
Correct Answer
CThe central atom does not have an octet of electrons
DA sulfur atom must be the central atom for the structure to be stable

Solution

Total lone pairs = 4
Total double bond = 2
All the atoms have complete octet Carbon is the central atom

Option B is correct.
