HXeSH Lewis Structure and Valence Electrons

This video tutorial explains how to draw the Lewis structure for HXESH, highlighting the unique xenon-sulfur bond. It begins by counting the valence electrons and placing the least electronegative elements in the center. The tutorial demonstrates forming chemical bonds and completing octets, with a focus on xenon's ability to have an expanded octet. The video concludes with a complete Lewis structure for HXESH, ensuring all elements have their required electrons.
