hell... ooo...!!
yess!!
If the molecule is linear, the two S=O dipoles are equal and exactly opposite in direction, so like a perfectly equal tug-of-war, they cancel each other out, and there is no net dipole in the molecule. Since we know that SO2 has a dipole moment, it must be bent.
hope this helps you!
