I would like to you help me with my homework because I struggled with step 6. Can you help me with step 6, please?
![Molecular Shape of SO₂
(1) sulfur central atom A
(2) Oxygen B (atom surrounding central autom]
(1) sulfur
Elo
ne pair central atom)
A, B₂ E₁ =AB2E
Step 1: Find the Central Atom
Central atom is:_
Look your line bond structure on
page 1.
-
90
Step 3: Choose the ABE classification
Circle the correct AB,Ey 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
AB₁E3
AB₂E
AB3E
AB₁E₂ AB₁E
AB₂E2 AB2
AB3 AB4
Step 5: Use the Molecular Shape
table from your notes to draw the
ball and stick representation
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
com = E=
Step 4: Use the Molecular Shape Table from
your notes to select the molecular shape and
bond angles.
Molecular Shape- Bent
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

Expert Solution
Step 1 Electrons groups
Central S atom is surrounded by two bonding and one non-bonding electron group. Thus, central atom is not surrounded by identical electron group.
