(a(i))[1]
Use VSEPR theory to predict the shape of a $\text{SCl}_2$ molecule.
(a(ii))[1]
Predict the bond angle for a molecule of $\text{SCl}_2$.
(b(i))[2]
$\text{SCl}_2$ is a red liquid that reacts with water according to the equation $2\text{SCl}_2(l) + 3\text{H}_2\text{O}(l) \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{SO}_3(aq) + \text{S}(s) + 4\text{HCl}(aq)$. Describe two observations, other than temperature change, that are seen when excess water is added to $\text{SCl}_2$.
(b(ii))[2]
When $\text{SCl}_2$ reacts with water, it is decomposed and a disproportionation reaction takes place. State the oxidation numbers of sulfur in $\text{SCl}_2$ and $\text{H}_2\text{SO}_3$.
(b(iii))[1]
State the general term used for the reaction type when a substance is broken down by water.
