(a)
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure and resonating structures (if possible) of given molecule is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Lewis structure is a representation of a molecule which shows shared and unshared pair of electrons. It is helpful to determine the shape of a molecule.
(a)
Answer to Problem 37A
Resonating structures:
Explanation of Solution
Sulphur has six valence electrons. One electron is shared by each oxide ion and two electrons are shared by oxygen atom and no electron pairs are left unshared.
Its resonating structure is also possible as follows:
