The video tutorial explains how to write the Lewis structure for sulfur diiodide (SI2). It begins by counting the valence electrons for sulfur and iodine using the periodic table. Sulfur, being less electronegative, is placed in the center with iodine atoms on either side. Electron pairs are added to form chemical bonds, and the structure is adjusted to ensure all atoms have complete octets. The tutorial concludes with a complete Lewis structure for SI2.
