7 valance electrons and a atomic number of 9
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.

Explanation:
Which of the following elements would lose an electron easily?
In particular, cesium (Cs) can give up its valence electron more easily than can lithium (Li). In fact, for the alkali metals (the elements in Group 1), the ease of giving up an electron varies as follows: Cs > Rb > K > Na > Li with Cs the most likely, and Li the least likely, to lose an electron
