What is the geometry of the SO3 molecule?

Trigonal planar.


Is SO3 a salt?

No, SO3, sulphur trioxide is not a salt. A salt is an ionic compound such as might result from neutralizing an acid with a base. In SO3, there are no ions, and it is the result of oxidation.

Is so3 ionic or covalent compounds?

SO3 sulfur trioxide is covalent. There are S=O bonds and the molecule is trigonal planar as predicted by VSEPR.


Is so3 a formula unit or molecule?

SO3 is the chemical formula for the compound sulfur trioxide. Sulfur trioxide gas is a major pollutant and a big contributor to acid rain. But SO3 may, with a 2- added to it as a superscript, represent the sulfite ion with a charge of -2.

What is the smallest unit of salt that is still salt an atom or a molecule?

A molecule. One molecule of salt consists of one atom each of Sodium and Chlorine.


Is SO3- polar or non-polar?

SO3 is a non polar molecule. Although the bonds between the S and O atoms are polar because S is more electronegative than O hence creating an electronegativity difference, the molecule is non polar. This is because the negative and positive centres are both loacted in the same place (at the S molecule) as they are all on the same plane and therefore there is no permanant dipole as the dipoles in the bond cancel each other out, therefore the molecule is non polar.


What does 3 S in an O stand for?

If you are referring to the 3 in SO3, it means that there are 3 oxygen (O) atoms in each molecule.

What is the chemical formula for Tri sulfur Pent oxide?

SO3 Tetra means four, genius. SO3 is Sulphur Trioxide. Sulphur Tetroxide exists as an anion [SO4]2- More commonly referred to as a sulphate. Sulphur Tetroxide is not sulphate, sulphate is an ion while Sulphur Tetroxide is not just like sulphur trioxide (SO3) is a neutral molecule whereas sulphite (SO3)2- is an ion...... so yes, sulfur tetraoxide is SO4, nothing more nothing less
