Lewis Structure So42 Review

3️⃣ as lone pairs on O atoms to give each O an octet.

Let’s break down the Lewis structure of SO₄²⁻ — one of the most common polyatomic ions you’ll meet in general chemistry! 🧴⚡️ lewis structure so42

Tetrahedral (no lone pairs on S) — bond angles ~109.5°. 3️⃣ as lone pairs on O atoms to give each O an octet

SO₄²⁻ is a resonance hybrid — all S–O bonds are equivalent (intermediate between single and double). 💫 plus a resonance arrow. 🧪 🧪
