    Answer:

    a little less than 109.5°

    Explanation:

    SCl2 has four regions of electron density around the central atom of the molecule. This implies that it has a tetrahedral electron domain geometry with an expected bond angle of 109.5° according to valence shell electron pair repulsion theory.

    However, there are two lone pair of electrons on the central atom of the molecule which decreases the bond angle a little less than 109.5° owing to repulsion between electron pairs.
