Jia observes that adding a solution of sodium hydroxide to a clear liquid turns the liquid pink. she makes a hypothesis about
why the liquid changed color.
which characteristic is least important for her hypothesis to have?

what is the question here. i think you messed up.

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
