Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To write the resonance structures for sulfur trioxide (SO₃) and the nitrate ion (NO₃⁻), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Valence Electrons - **Sulfur (S)** has 6 valence electrons. - **Oxygen (O)** has 6 valence electrons, and there are three oxygen atoms in SO₃. For SO₃: - Total valence electrons = 6 (from S) + 3 × 6 (from O) = 24 valence electrons. ...
