So4 2 Lewis Dot Structure. It was a bitof work but we have the best structure here. There are no lone pairs in the last shell of sulfur atom.
There are 32 valence electrons available for the lewis structure for so 4 2. You ll need to place a double bond on two of the oxygen atoms in order to have the best lewis structure. We add our 2 minus right there.
Sulfur atom is the center atom and four oxygen atoms are located around sulfur atom.
Watch the video and see if you missed any steps or information. For more help watch this general tutorial on drawing lewis structures for compounds like the sulfate ion. It was a bitof work but we have the best structure here. Since it s anion there s one last thing we need to do.
