| Lewis Structure of SO3 |
| Determine the number of valence electrons.
O= 6 * 3= 18 S= 6 * 1= 6 18 + 6= 24 valence electrons |
| Determine the number of electrons needed.
O= 8 * 3= 24 S= 8 * 1= 8 24 + 8= 32 electrons needed |
| Determine how many pairs of electrons there will be by subtracting
the number of valence electrons from the number of electrons needed.
Electrons needed= 32 Valence electrons= 24 32-24= 4 pairs of electrons |
| Draw the Lewis Structure, determine the geometry, and the bond angle. |
