Question

Draw the lewis structure for so2. how many single bonds, double bonds, triple bonds, and unshared pairs of electrons are on the central atom, in that order? 1. 2, 1, 0, 0 2. 0, 1, 1, 0 3. 3, 0, 0, 1 4. 0, 2, 0, 0

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option(1).

Step-by-step explanation:

Lewis Structure are the structure which shows bonding between the atoms and the number of lone pairs present on the atoms in a molecule.

In the Lewis structure of $SO_2$ ,sulfur is present in a center of a molecule with one lone pair present on it. One oxygen atoms is bonded to sulfur atom with one single bond and double bond and with other oxygen atom, sulfur donates its lone pair to complete the octet of an oxygen atom by which lone pair is not present on the sulfur atom. Two lone pairs of electrons are present on each oxygen atom.

From the image attached:

Number of single bonds = 2

Number of double bonds = 1

Number of triple bonds = 0

Un-shared pairs of electrons are on the central atom = 0

Hence,the correct answer is option(1).

Answer 2

The lewis structure represents 1 single bond, 1 double bond, 0 triple bond, and 0 unshared pair of electrons on the central atom.

Lewis structures are formed to show the bonding between the atoms and loan pairs.

In the structure of $\rm SO_2$,

Central atom = Sulfur

Loan pair = 1

Number of single bond = 1

Between sulfur and one oxygen atom

Number of double bond = 1

Between sulfur and another oxygen to complete its octet.

Number of triple bond = 0

Unshared pair of electron = 0

Therefore, single bond, double bond, triple bond, and unshared pair of electrons on central atom = 1, 2, 0, 0.
