What is the Lewis dot structure for sulfur dioxide (SO2)?

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.

What type of atom and how many are in a single molecule of So2?

First of all , what is 'So2'. if you mean SO2. Then there are three atoms. They are 1 x S = 1 x sulphur 2 x O = 2 x oxygen. NB When writing chemical symbols , remember single letter symbols are ALWAYS a CAPITAL Letter. Two letter symbols are , First letter is a capital letter ansd the second letter is small/lower case. This is the internationally recognised standard. See the Periodic Table. An element of the symbol 'So' does not exist in the Periodic Table.


What is the ratio of so2?

The ratio of SO2 is one sulfur atom bonded to two oxygen atoms, so the ratio is 1:2.


What are the number of single and double bonds in SO2 according to VSEPR theory?

VSEPR relates to electron pair repulsion -and uses this effect to predict molecular geometry. You need to determine the bonding using lewis dot diagrams or some other methodology first before using VSEPR
