Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The molecule OCS contains a total of 16 valence electrons.

To determine this, we look at the periodic table and see that oxygen (O) has 6 valence electrons, carbon (C) has 4 valence electrons, and sulfur (S) has 6 valence electrons. Adding these together, we have 6 + 4 + 6 = 16 valence electrons in the OCS molecule.
