Question

Can you help me with the SO2 step-by-step for number (Step 6)?

I need help with the central atom surrounded by an identical electron group.

I need help with the molecule polar.

Molecular Shape of SO2
(1) sulfur central atom A
(2) Oxygen B (atom surrounding central atom)
(1)
Sulfur
A, B₂ E₁ =AB₂E
Step 1: Find the Central Atom
Central atom is:
Look your line bond structure on
page
1.
Ö
-S=0
90
Elone
Step 3: Choose the ABE classification
Circle the correct AB, E, notation.
Recall, we use (A) to represent the
central atom, (B) to represent the
number of atoms bonded to the central
atom, and (E) to represent the number
of lone pairs
AB₁E₁
AB₂E
AB₂E
AB₁E₂ AB₁E
AB₂E2 AB₂
AB3
AB4
Step 5: Use the Molecular Shape
table from your notes to draw the
ball and stick representation
ne pair central atom)
Step 2:
Count number of atoms bonded to the central
atom (B)
# of atoms bonded to central atom= B =
Count number of lone pairs on the
central atom (E)
# of lone pairs on central atom = E=
Step 4: Use the Molecular Shape Table from
your notes to select the molecular shape and
bond angles.
Bent
Molecular Shape=
Bond angles = 120⁰
-2
Step 6: Determine Polarity
Is the central atom surrounded by identical
electron groups?
Circle one: yes
If the answer was yes, then the molecule is
nonpolar. If the answer is no, then the molecule
is polar.
Is the molecule polar?
Circle one: (yes
no
no
