Answer:

Two equivalent resonance forms can be drawn

Explanation:

In Lewis structure, total valence electrons of constituting atoms are used to draw structure by obeying octet of all atoms and duet of hydrogen atoms.

Least electronegative atom (except hydrogen atom) are considered as central atom.

In SO_{2}, S is the least electronegative atom. Hence it is the central atom.

Number of valence electron of S is 6 and valence electron of O is 6.

So, total number of valence electrons in SO_{2} is 18.

By using this 18 electrons and obeying octet for S and O, two equivalent resonance forms can be drawn.

Structure of resonance forms has been given below.

Does acid rain make new substances? Construct an argument that uses data from this investigation as evidence for your claim.
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Acid rain, like all acids, generates dissolution of chemical compounds, and reacts together with bases to be able to carry out oxide reduction reactions, which by deduction is very likely to form new substances as a result of the dissolution or acid erosion caused.

Explanation:

Acid rain is more likely to occur in large cities or large sources of pollution, since the excess of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causes it to increase its partial pressure in a condensed way in the clouds, this is how then this cloud when being loaded with water and then generating the rain drags these masses of condensed carbon dioxide in the form of acid rain.

The degree of acidity is directly proportional to the amount of partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
