a) SBr2_2 is composed of one sulfur and two bromine atoms, in which, bromine is located in group 7A, while sulfur is found in group 6A, which means that they have 7 and 6 as their valence electrons respectively, therefore, its total number of electrons:

(2 Br 7 electrons) + (1 S6 electrons) = 20 electrons\small(\text{2 Br} \cdot\text{ 7 electrons) } \text{+ (1 S} \cdot \text{6 electrons})\text{ = 20 electrons}
