Cadmium Thiocyanate Formula

The chemical formula for cadmium thiocyanate is Cd(SCN)2. This compound consists of one cadmium ion (Cd2+) and two thiocyanate ions (SCN^-). The cadmium ion has a 2+ charge, while each thiocyanate ion has a 1- charge. The atoms are arranged such that the cadmium ion is surrounded by two thiocyanate ions, with each sulfur atom from a thiocyanate ion binding to the cadmium ion through a coordinate covalent bond. The resulting compound is a white crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 300 g/mol.
