The Lewis structure of H2SO4 can be made as
O
I
H - O - S - O - H
I
O
While the resonating structure of H2SO4 is with the double bond. It is improved structure. This structure can be shown in more than 1 way
O
I
H - O - S - O - H
II
O
or
O
II
H - O - S - O - H
I
O
And the best structure is where all the formal charges gets zero
O
II
H - O - S - O - H
II
O
The structure of H2SO5 is
O
I I
H O - S - O - OH
