SCl2 is a simple bent molecule with bond angle of 103 0 and bond length 201 pm. There are four electron pairs around the sulfur, and in VSEPR theory these will be arranged so that the lone pairs repel the bonding pairs slighly more than the bonding pairs repe each other. this leads to a reduction of the angle from the ideal terahedral angle of 109.5 0
