Answer:

180ยบ

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbon has 4 valence electrons and to complete the octet requires 4 more , so it will share with the oxigen atoms 4 more, forming a single and a pi bond similar to CO2

Since the carbon does not have lone pairs, the geometry around this central atom will be linear and the angle will be 180 , S = C = S
