To calculate the formal charge on each atom in the electron-dot structure of sulfur dioxide (SO₂), we will use the formula for formal charge: \[ \text{Formal Charge} = \text{Valence Electrons} - \text{Non-bonding Electrons} - \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Bonding Electrons} \] ### Step 1: Identify the Valence Electrons - **Sulfur (S)** has 6 valence electrons. ...
