Draw the lewis structure for so2. how many single bonds, double bonds, triple bonds, and unshared pairs of electrons are on the
central atom, in that order? 1. 2, 1, 0, 0 2. 0, 1, 1, 0 3. 3, 0, 0, 1 4. 0, 2, 0, 0
1 answer:
Answer:
The correct answer is option(1).
Step-by-step explanation:
Lewis Structure are the structure which shows bonding between the atoms and the number of lone pairs present on the atoms in a molecule.
In the Lewis structure of ,sulfur is present in a center of a molecule with one lone pair present on it. One oxygen atoms is bonded to sulfur atom with one single bond and double bond and with other oxygen atom, sulfur donates its lone pair to complete the octet of an oxygen atom by which lone pair is not present on the sulfur atom. Two lone pairs of electrons are present on each oxygen atom.
From the image attached:
Number of single bonds = 2
Number of double bonds = 1
Number of triple bonds = 0
Un-shared pairs of electrons are on the central atom = 0
Hence,the correct answer is option(1).
