The Lewis structure most closely resembling reality consists of two resonance structures: the first one posted in the question and its mirror image. The reason is that the octet rule is observed this way (no hybridization of d-orbitals for main group chemistry necessary or possible) as well as the symmetry of the molecule: the two bonds are identical.

2015年2月9日 · Sulfur dioxide, or SO_2, has two resonance structures which contribute equally to the overall hybrid structure of the molecule. However, a third Lewis structure can be drawn for SO_2 which is more stable in theory, but doesn't quite match experimental data. Let's draw the first two Lewis structures for SO_2. The total number of valence electrons we have at our …

2013年12月21日 · Here are the steps I follow when drawing a Lewis structure. > 1. Decide which is the central atom in the structure. That will normally be the least electronegative atom ("S"). 2. Draw a skeleton structure in which the other atoms are single-bonded to the central atom: "O-S-O". 3. Draw a trial structure by putting electron pairs around every atom until each gets an …

2015年12月15日 · The formal charge on the "SO"_2 molecule is zero, but the formal charge on each atom depends on the Lewis structure that you draw. > You can draw three Lewis structures for "SO"_2. The actual structure is therefore a resonance hybrid of all three structures. In calculating the formal charge, each atom "gets" all of its lone pair electrons and half of its …

2017年6月23日 · Draw the Lewis structure for sulfur dioxide, SO2, which does not require expanded octets. Which of the statements below is true for the Lewis structure of the SO2 molecule that obeys the octet rule?

2015年7月16日 · So apparently the Lewis structure of SOX2 S O X 2 is It was my understanding that the central atom is the one that is more electronegative. And an atom is more electronegative the closer it is to Fluorine (top-right). Oxygen is definitely closer to fluorine than sulfur is. Then, why is sulfur the central atom? Also, one thing that has been bugging me for a while: if there …

2019年12月16日 · I have read that sulfur dioxide acts as both Lewis base (due to presence of lone pair over S S and/or O) O) and Lewis acid (due to presence of vacant d orbital). I found many examples of SOX2 S O X 2 acting as a Lewis acid (towards NMeX3, N M e X 3, HX2O, H X 2 O, etc.), but could not find any for its Lewis base behavior. Could someone provide some …
