The Lewis dot structure for sulfur dioxide (SO2) consists of one sulfur atom bonded to two oxygen atoms. The sulfur atom has six valence electrons, while each oxygen atom has six valence electrons. The sulfur atom forms a double bond with one oxygen atom and a single bond with the other oxygen atom.
The formal charge of sulfur in the SO2 Lewis structure is 0.
SO2 is Sulfur Dioxide
SO2: sulfur dioxide S + O2 --> SO2
When sulfur and oxygen combine, they form sulfur dioxide (SO2).
The Lewis dot structure of SO2, or sulfur dioxide, has a central atom of sulfur that violates the octet rule. The central atom of sulfur has one lone pair and is double bonded to two oxygen atoms. Sulfur has valence electrons in the 3rd energy level, allowing access to the 3d sublevel and more than 8 valence electrons.
