Question

shape of SO2 in hybridization

Answer 1

First draw the Lewis Structure of so2.



Note that there are 3 things or regions around the central atom. 1 single bond, 1 double bond and a lone pair.

The hybridization for this is sp2

Where:
s has 1 orbital
p has 3 orbitals
d has 5 orbitals
f has 7 orbitals

sp2 s has 1 orbital, p has 2 orbitals = 3
