what is the valency of sulphur in sulphur dioxide gas

Answers

Answered by dbskumar

2
each sulphur atom shares 1 electron to each oxygen atom
thus, it has two valence electrons.
valency is also 2

dbskumar: thanks

Nasra1: :-)

It is 4 as Oxygen's valency is w and the compound is SO2 there it's valency will be 2×2 i.e. 4

Nasra1: how 4?

dbskumar: so2 is a covalent bond

dbskumar: thus valency is 2

dbskumar: but sulphur has 4 valency in ionic bonded compounds

TJ7: Oxygen always forms a double bond. Sulphur requires 4 electrons in this bond. It is similar to Carbon di Oxide I guess
