Hey...!! HERE IS YOUR ANSWER...!!
In the compound SO2, Oxygen can have -1 or -2 valence values, and S can have -1, -2, +2, +4 or +6 values but since there are two Oxygen molecules and one Sulfur molecule, each Oxygen molecule must have a value of -2 (total of -6) and each Sulfur molecule a value of +6 to balance to zero (-6 +6 = 0).
