Explanation:

Sulfuric acid also known as H_{2}SO_{4} contains two hydrogen atoms, one sulfur atom and four oxygen atoms.

And it is given that the formal charge on a sulfuric acid molecule is zero. So, sulfur atom is bonded with two oxygen atoms through a double bond on each oxygen atom. The sulfur is also attached to another two oxygen atoms through a single bond for each oxygen atom.

Further, the each oxygen with single bond is attached to one hydrogen atom each.

If we are to draw the sulfuric acid structure based on Lewis it would look like:

                       O

                      ll

                O = S – O –H

                       l

                      O

                       l

                       H

 

So from this, we can see that there are 2 double bonds (O = S) and 4 single bonds (S – O and O – H).

 

Therefore the answer is:

4 single, 2 double

If the moon resembled an asteroid, which theory would be most supported?
Law Incorporation [45]
<span>This is called "The capture theory" which states that the Earth's Moon was captured by the gravitational pull of our planet, meaning that it formed elsewhere, and then was pulle dinto place by the Earth, already formed. This would rely upon the ideas that a asteroid pased close enough to the Earth's orbit to be "captured".</span>
