There are two oxygen atoms bonded to the central sulfur atom.

There is also a lone pair attached to the sulfur atom.

Here, the given molecule is so2 (sulfur dioxide). Read also: 5 Things You Didn't Know About This Knoxville Craigslist Find

In order to draw the lewis structure of so2, first of all you have to find the total number of valence electrons present in the so2 molecule. Read also: Craigslist Lincoln Listing: The Clues You've Been Missing

(valence electrons are the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom).

Understanding sulfur dioxide (so2) properties of so2;

Drawing the lewis structure of so2.

Check for octet rule compliance;

The lewis structure is a static picture of a molecule.

But so2 has a symmetric, resonant structure that contributes to it's reactivity.

Note that in the first two cases, the molecule has not lost an electron:

Drawing the lewis structure for so2 is essential for understanding its molecular bonding and chemical properties.

The lewis structure of so 2 consists of a sulfur (s) atom present at the center of the molecule.

It is bonded with the help of two double bonds to two atoms of oxygen (o) at the sides.

There are a total of 5 lone pairs in the so 2 lewis structure(one on the sulfur atom and 2 lone pairs on each oxygen atom).
