The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the bonding of sulfur atoms in the trimer form of sulfur trioxide (SO3), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Molecular Formula The trimer form of sulfur trioxide means that three sulfur trioxide molecules combine. Therefore, we can deduce the molecular formula for the trimer: - Each SO3 molecule contains one sulfur atom and three oxygen atoms. - For three SO3 molecules, the total would be: \[ \text{Total Sulfur} = 3 \times 1 = 3 \text{ Sulfur atoms} \] \[ \text{Total Oxygen} = 3 \times 3 = 9 \text{ Oxygen atoms} \] Thus, the molecular formula for the trimer is \( S_3O_9 \). ### Step 2: Visualize the Structure Next, we need to visualize the structure of \( S_3O_9 \). In the trimer form, the structure can be represented as follows: - Each sulfur atom is connected to oxygen atoms. - The central part of the structure has three sulfur atoms and three oxygen atoms, with additional oxygen atoms bonded to the sulfur atoms. ### Step 3: Determine the Bonding Now, we analyze how many oxygen atoms are bonded to each sulfur atom: - Each sulfur atom is bonded to three oxygen atoms in the central part of the structure. - Additionally, each sulfur atom is bonded to one more oxygen atom from the outer part of the structure. ### Step 4: Count the Total Bonds Thus, for each sulfur atom in the trimer form: - It is bonded to a total of four oxygen atoms (three from the central structure and one from the outer structure). ### Conclusion Therefore, in the trimer form of sulfur trioxide, each sulfur atom is bonded with **four oxygen atoms**. ### Final Answer The correct option is **four oxygen atoms**. ---
