Chapter 3, Problem 3.75P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The name of ${\text{SO}}_{\text{2}}$ should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

A covalent bond is formed by mutually sharing of electrons between the atoms of two non-metals.

This bond formed may be polar or non-polar depending on the electronegativities of the two atoms of the elements involved in the formation of the covalent bond.

A covalent bond is formed by sharing of same number of electrons between two atoms to complete their octet. Atoms taking part in covalent bond formation may share one, two or three electron pairs thus forming single, double and triple bond respectively.

The two types of atoms in a binary covalent compound are named in this order-first the less electronegative element and then the more electronegative element.
