Draw The Lewis Dot Structure For So2. Which of the statements below is true for the lewis structure of the so2 molecule that obeys the octet rule. First draw the lewis dot structure.
First draw the lewis dot structure. S and o atoms have sp2 hybridization. The lewis structure for so 2 requires you to place more than 8 valence electrons on sulfur s.
So 2 sulfur dioxide.
S 16 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 3d. Now we will form the structure by completing the octet with the most electronegative element o. We will finish the structure by placing the remained valence electrons on the central atom. Here we have four bond pairs.
