What is the bond angle in `SO_2` ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the bond angle in sulfur dioxide (SO₂), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Lewis Structure of SO₂ - Sulfur (S) is the central atom, and it is bonded to two oxygen (O) atoms. - Sulfur can have a maximum valency of +6, so it can form multiple bonds. - In SO₂, sulfur forms one double bond with one oxygen and a single bond with the other oxygen. ### Step 2: Count Lone Pairs ...
