ANSWERS OPTIONS
A
S is the terminal atom in SiS2 but S is the central atom in SCl2 because S is less electronegative than Si but more electronegative than Cl.
B
S is the terminal atom in SiS2 but S is the central atom in SCl2 because S is more electronegative than Si but less electronegative than Cl.
C
S is the terminal atom in SiS2 but S is the central atom in SCl2 because S has equal electronegativity with Si but less electronegative than Cl.
D
S is the terminal atom in SiS2 but S is the central atom in SCl2 because S is more electronegative than Si but has the same electronegativity with Cl.
