Help: Need bond angles for sulfur mustard (mustard gas) - WillDaSnail - 2010-05-20

For the Chemistry geeks out there....

I'm doing an AP Chemistry project for this week, and it involves building molecular structures of any compound we wish to do.

I chose to build the molecular structure of sulfur mustard (C4H8Cl2S), infamously known as "mustard gas", a chemical warfare agent

That's the 3-D ball-and-stick model for mustard gas.

Okay, so its easy to build the structure. One problem: I need the bond angles! In order to build the structure correctly, I need to know the bond angles so I can adjust the sticks to the "correct angles" (to the best of my ability). I've been Googling this past hour, and so far, no avail.

Can anyone give me a hand?

They should all be 109.5 I think. All the carbons look tetrahedral, and the lone pairs on oxygen make it tetrahedral as well.
