Question:

Draw resonance structures for the SO2 molecule, and determine the formal charges on the S and O atoms. Are the S—O bonds polar, and is the molecule as a whole polar? If so, what is the direction of the net dipole in SO2? Is your prediction confirmed by the electrostatic potential surface? Explain briefly.Electrostatic potential surface for sulfur dioxide
