To calculate the formal charge on each atom in the electron-dot structure of sulfur dioxide (SO₂), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Valence Electrons - **Sulfur (S)** has 6 valence electrons. - **Oxygen (O)** has 6 valence electrons, and since there are two oxygen atoms, we will consider them both. ### Step 2: Write the Lewis Structure The Lewis structure of SO₂ can be represented as: ...
