Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the formal charge on each atom in the molecule represented as `:O-S=O:`, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the atoms and their valence electrons - **Sulfur (S)**: Group 16, has 6 valence electrons. - **Oxygen (O)**: Group 16, has 6 valence electrons (there are two oxygen atoms in this structure). ### Step 2: Draw the Lewis structure The Lewis structure for the molecule can be represented as: ...
