What is the shape of sulphur dioxide?

A quick explanation of the molecular geometry of SO2 including a description of the SO2 bond angles. We can see that there are only two atoms attached to the... read more

The shape of sulphur dioxide and a number of other molecules can be known with the help of VSEPR Theory. This is a theory that provides shapes for all molecules by counting the number of electron domains. read more

So to find the shape of a molecule, look at the number of electron domains, take into consideration whether or not any of those domains are a lone pair, and make the decision of molecular shape based off of that. read more
