**Task: Drawing Lewis Structures for \( \text{SO}_2 \)****Objective:** Draw the Lewis structure for the sulfur dioxide (\( \text{SO}_2 \)) molecule. Ensure all resonance structures are included to satisfy the octet rule.**Instructions:** - Use the drawing tools provided to sketch each resonance structure. - Consider electron-sharing and lone pairs to maintain the octet rule for all atoms involved. **Tools:**1. Select atom types to place sulfur and oxygen atoms.2. Use the bond tool to connect atoms with single or double bonds.3. Utilize the eraser tool to remove connections as needed.4. Adjust atom positions using the drag tool.**Tips:**- Begin by connecting sulfur with two oxygen atoms.- Explore different bonding configurations, such as one single bond and one double bond, or two double bonds.- Ensure every structure maintains a total count of 18 valence electrons.- Calculate formal charges to verify stability.**Note:** This is an interactive task intended to aid in understanding molecular geometry and resonance in molecules like sulfur dioxide.

Lewis dot structures are diagrams used to represent the valence electron present in an atom or molecule that makes up the compound. For the Lewis dot structure, the symbol for the element is surrounded by dots, that represent the valence electrons. The dots are placed around the symbol, one at a time, in pairs, until all the valence electrons have been used.The sulfur has 6 valence electrons and oxygen also has 6 valence electrons. There are two oxygen atoms and one sulfur atom. Thus, there are a total of 18 valence electrons. The dot structure is given below.There will be the formation of double bonds between sulfur and oxygen atoms. It is shown below.The resonance structures can be drawn by shifting the bonds as shown below.The Lewis structure for SO2 along with the resonance structures are:
