Hi everyone today, we have a question asking us to fill in the blank spaces and the following chart for the molecules Software dioxide. So let's first draw the LewiS structure. So we have our sulfur in the middle with one long hair and it's double bonded to two oxygen's, Each with two lone pairs. So that makes this an A X two E molecule, which means it has a bent molecular geometry and a Trigon O. Planner electron geometry. And its hybridization is going to be S. P. Two Because it has one s orbital and two PS. And a die pool moment will be present because of the imbalance of charge across the atoms in the molecule. Thank you for watching. Bye!
