What are the nature of bonds in the `SO_(3)` molecule ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the nature of bonds in the \( SO_3 \) molecule, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Valence Electrons - **Sulfur (S)** has 6 valence electrons (group 16). - **Oxygen (O)** has 6 valence electrons, and since there are 3 oxygen atoms in \( SO_3 \), we have a total of \( 3 \times 6 = 18 \) valence electrons from oxygen. ### Step 2: Calculate Total Valence Electrons - Total valence electrons in \( SO_3 \) = Valence electrons from sulfur + Valence electrons from oxygen ...
