Answer:
All bonds are equivalent in length and strength within the molecule.
Gaseous SO3 is a trigonal planar molecule that exhibit a D3h symmetry group.
Sulfur has sp2 hybridization and it has 6 outer electrons which make the bonds with the oxygen.
Its constituent sulfur atom has an oxidation state of +6 and a formal charge of 0.
The Lewis structure is made up of one S=O double bond and two S–O dative bonds that doesn't not engage the d-orbitals. ( Thus, SO3 molecule has three double bonded oxygen to the central sulfur atom). This explains the strength.
It gaseous form had a zero electrical dipole moment because of the 120° angle between the S-O bonds.
