The compound SO3 is a type of covalent bond. It is a covalent bond because both sulfur and oxygen are nonmetals that are bonded.
Formula: SO3
SO3 is the chemical formula for sulfur trioxide.
Chaos.
The correct name for sulfate is sulfite, and its chemical formula is SO3^2-.
Yes, SO3 does have a resonance structure. In the resonance hybrid of SO3, the sulfur-oxygen bonds are equivalent and intermediate between single and double bonds. This results in delocalization of the electrons in the molecule, giving it stability.
According to VSEPR (valence shell electron pair repulsion) theory, the molecular structure of SO3 is trigonal planar. This means that the sulfur atom is surrounded by three oxygen atoms arranged in a flat, triangular shape, with bond angles of approximately 120 degrees.
Three bonds should be drawn in the Lewis dot structure for SO3. Sulfur forms a double bond with one oxygen atom and single bonds with the other two oxygen atoms to complete its octet.
Al+3 SO3+2 <---- these are the ions and their charges Al+3 Al+3 SO3+2 SO3+2 SO3+2 <---- the charges have to add up to zero, so two +3 aluminum ions cancel out three +2 sulfite ions. Al2(SO3)3 <--- simplify
3 and SO3 is an anion with a +1 charge
SO3 is sulfur trioxide.
The balanced equation for the reaction between SO3 and H2O is: SO3 + H2O → H2SO4
