well sulfur dioxide is a covalent compound so the sulfur atoms and the oxygen atoms share valence electrons. This is because all three atoms must try to have an octet, and with only 18 total valence electrons this must be done through sharing. So to become sulfur dioxide, the valence electrons on the oxygen atoms must be shared with the valence electrons on the sulfur atom.
