Question

How many electrons bond around a sulfur atom in SO2? 1 2 3 6 Please reply quickly, I need an answer

Answer 1

Explanation:

In the outer level, Sulphur has six electrons, and the Oxygen has four of them among which one electron is used for each bond. So total number of ten electrons in five pairs. To make bonds, four pairs are needed, so one pair remains alone. The two double bonds use two pairs each and form as a single unit.

hope it works out

Answer 2

Answer:

5 lone pairs.

Explanation:

Both sulphur aand oxygen have 3 lone pairs each. Sulfur makes two double bond with the oxygen atoms, so 2 lone pairs are used up. And each oxygen has two lone pairs left with them after making a double bond with sulfur.

So 1 lp of sulfur + 2*2 lp of oxygen atoms = 5 lp
