In sulfur dioxide (SO2), the oxygens are bonded to the sulfur with a resonating double/single bond, and the sulfur has a lone pair around it. So with three things around the sulfur, it forms a trigonal planar geometry, but since you cannot see the lone pair on the sulfur, you say that the structure is "bent". The bond angle is about 119 degrees.
