16 th group elements S, Se, Te and Po form different type of halides; the hexa, tetra, di and monohalides. The polarity of the M – F bond increases as the size of the atom M increases Tetrafluorides and tetrachlorides are formed by almost all elements while Te and Po form solid tetraiodides. Only sulphur forms the dihalide, SCl 2 Hybridization and shape of sulphur dichloride is (A) sp, linear (B) sp 2 , angular (C) sp 3 , bent molecule (D) sp 3 d, linear

see if it was SF2 u could say sp linear acc. to VSEPR and F-F repulsion factor. but since Cl-Cl repulsion is less compared to F-F, it forms a bent shape, ie sp3 VSEPR theory cl - S - cl, still sulphur has two lone pairs, so in total two bond pairs and two lone pairs,. AB2L2 type structure, tetrahedral sp3 structure
