The resonance structure of Carbon dioxide has three resonance structures,out of which one is a major contributor. The carbon dioxide molecule has total of 16 valence electrons, 4 from carbon and 6 from each oxygen atom.

Whereas the resonance structure of Sulphur dioxide which contribute equally to have overall hybrid structure of the molecule. However the third Lewis structure can be drawn for Sulphur dioxide which is more stable in theory
