Lewis Structure of SO2 - Chemistry Stack Exchange
What is the structure of SO2? I have seen two different ways the Lewis Structure is written: The formal charges of the SO2 with the single bond and a double bond is larger than the SO2 with two dou...
Why is sulfur the central atom in the Lewis structure for SO2?
Jul 16, 2015 · 0 So apparently the Lewis structure of $\ce {SO_2}$ is It was my understanding that the central atom is the one that is more electronegative. And an atom is more electronegative the closer …
Examples of Lewis base nature of sulfur dioxide
Dec 16, 2019 · 6 I have read that sulfur dioxide acts as both Lewis base (due to presence of lone pair over $\ce {S}$ and/or $\ce {O})$ and Lewis acid (due to presence of vacant d orbital). I found many …
In certain Lewis Structures, why can oxygen have 3 pairs of lone ...
Mar 6, 2025 · 0 In previous questions, the Lewis structure of sulfur dioxide was discussed. ( Lewis Structure of SO2, Hybridization of sulfur in sulfur dioxide). But my question, which is much more …
inorganic chemistry - Lewis Acid / Base reaction for SO2 and H2O ...
Dec 10, 2017 · Molecules that contain polar multiple bonds can function as Lewis acid because the central atom is electron deficient with a vacant orbital that can accept an electron pair. When $\ce …
Resonance and Lewis structures of lower sulfur oxides S2O2 and S2O3
Sep 28, 2025 · 0 I understand Lewis structures of common molecules, like $\ce {CH4}$. I heard about more obscure compounds like $\ce {S2O2}$ or $\ce {S2O3}$, though. I don't even know where to …
bond - Structure of H2S2O3 - Chemistry Stack Exchange
Dec 27, 2024 · Your structure has both oxygen and hydrogen attached to the same sulfur atom, which is an unusual situation for sulfur (on the other hand, phosphorus does that, for instance in $\ce …
Why is the bond order in the SO₃ molecule 1.33 and not 2?
Apr 21, 2015 · As a simplistic explanation, the above sources state that the lewis structure of $\ce {SO_3}$ contains a 2$^+$ charge on the central sulfur and negative charges on two of the three …
bond - Does formal charge or the octet rule take precedence over one ...
Nov 21, 2022 · So, if the question were to "draw the Lewis structure of $\ce {SO3^2-}$ ", then following the conventions of Lewis structures with regard to charge vs octet would make sense. Those …
Why Is Hydrogen in HSO3- Connected to Oxygen Instead of Sulfur?
Jun 14, 2023 · Then I drew out the structure with the hydrogen single bonded, 2 oxygen double bonded and a single bonded oxygen. When I went to look it up to see if it matched my structure, I saw all if …
