- The name of the sulfur dioxide structure is not "planar" but "bent"
- It is true that sulfur does not have any electrons in d orbitals as a neutral, unbonded atom. However, anything in the third period and below has t...
- Yes, both lewis structures are valid, but the actual structure of SO₂ is neither of them. Instead, it is a resonance hybrid of them both.
- Only elements in period 3 and down (4,5,6, etc) have d orbitals that they can fill with extra electrons.
- Because formal charges aren’t always the best way to view things. Calculations show the bond order of each of the S-O bonds is 1.5, which lines up...

To form the Lewis structure of Sulfur Dioxide, we need first to determine the number of valence electrons available. These valence electrons act as the building blocks of the structure. They are found in the atom’s outermost shell, where the force of attraction from the nucleus is the weakest. As such, they can potentially break free to take part i...
Now that we’ve calculated the number of valence electrons available to us, we move on towards building up the Lewis structure for SO2. Sulfur is the least electronegative atom in the compound and will act as the central atom. The two oxygen atoms are arranged adjacent to the central sulfur atom. From the 18 valence electrons available, four are use...
Sulfur Dioxide comprises a central Sulfur atom surrounded by Oxygen atoms on either side. An easy way to determine the hybridization of a compound is to determine the number of electron domains it possesses. There are two covalent bonds and one lone pair. There are three electron domains, and this gives SO2an sp2hybridization. Therefore, the hybrid...
According to the VSEPR theory, the Oxygen atoms are repelled by each other and the lone pair, thus forming a bent molecular shape. As such, the bond angle of SO2is 119°.
To determine the molecular geometry of Sulfur Dioxide, we must observe its Lewis structure. There are two Oxygen atoms bonded to the central Sulfur atom. There is also a lone pair attached to the Sulfur atom. This indicated a bent molecular shape. We can use the A-X-N concept and its table to verify and determine the molecular geometry of SO2. ‘A’ ...
