Short answer: Two sulfur-oxygen double bonds. A full answer to any question about bonding can be provided only by quantum methods.
Between the a Sulfur atom and an Oxygen atoms is a covalent double-bond, Between one molecule of Sulfur Dioxide and another are Van der Waal's forces.
('Sulphur' is correctly spelled in technical usage 'Sulfur' according to IUPAC and the Royal Society of Chemistry but is correctly spelled 'Sulphur' in Britain, South Africa, Malaysia, Hong Kong, India and the Caribbean despite the fact it is a Latin word. (Using 'ph' instead of 'f' is used for Greek spellings (the Greek for sulphur being 'thion').) In the US the 'Sulfur' spelling is preferred and both are acceptable in Australia, New Zealand and Canada.)

Do ozone and SO2 have the same geometry?
No, but they are pretty close. The bond angle in ozone is 116.8°, and the bond angle in sulfur dioxide is 119°. The oxygens bonded in sulfur dioxide are bond doubly bonded, while in ozone it has two resonace forms where one of the oxygen hangs on by a single bond. The boiling point temperatures are prety close too...
What type of bond is present in sulfur?
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a non-metal, oxygen (O) is a non-metal, and a bond between two non-metals is a covalent bond. A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves sharing a pair of electrons between atoms in a molecule, each atom then attaining the equivalent of the full outer shell necessary for a stable electronic configuration.
What is the chemical compound name for SO2?
If it is bonded to a metal, then it is a polyatomic ion, sulfite If it is alone, then it is sulfur dioxide
Is sulfur dioxide amphoteric?
No. Sulfur dioxide is acidic.
Sulfur dioxide forms from the burning of what?
Burning sulfur in oxygen produces sulfur dioxide.
Similarity of sulfur molecule and sulfur dioxide molecule?
The similarity of sulfur molecule and the sulfur dioxide molecule is the type of bond.
How are sulfur molecule and sulfur dioxide molecule similar?
sulful and oxygen bath have six valence eletron,the molecule bond in so2

No. Sulfur dioxide is acidic.
How do you make sulfur dioxide on alchemy classic?
Sulfur + Oxygen = Sulfur Dioxide
Is sulphur dioxide the same as sulphur?
No, sulfur is an element and sulfur dioxide is a gaseous compound. Sulfur dioxide is the combustion product of sulfur in an oxygen atmosphere (S+O2 --> SO2) Where sulfur is an element, sulfur dioxide is a compound and where sulfur is an insoluble yellow solid, sulfur dioxide is a colorless soluble gas.
Is sulfur dioxide part of carbon dioxide?
No. Sulfur dioxide is sulfur and oxygen. Carbon dioxide is carbon and oxygen. They are two different substances.
Sulfur dioxide forms from the burning of what?
Burning sulfur in oxygen produces sulfur dioxide.
When burning magnesium ribbon is introduced into a jar of nitrogen gas?
Magnesium burns in the presence of sulfur dioxide because, the oxygen in the sulfur dioxide is able to bond with magnesium and produce an oxide.
Are carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide the same thing?
No. Carbon dioxide is very different from sulfur dioxide.
