Check for octet rule compliance;

The lewis structure of a molecule represents the arrangement of its atoms and the sharing or transfer of electrons between them.

In the case of so2, sulfur (s) is bonded to two oxygen (o) atoms.

The lewis structure of so2 (sulfur dioxide) is a bit tricky because it's an exception to the octet rule.

Sulfur (s) is the central atom which is surrounded by two oxygen (o) atoms.

Each oxygen atom shares a double bond with the sulfur atom.
