On predicting the structure of SO32-, I drew a skeletal structure of a triangle with S in the center, got VE=6*4+2=26, AE=26-6=20, and NE=2+6*3=20(S already has three bonds so I figured it only needed two). So... that led to the first structure. But it seems like the second one is the correct one. How can I deduce the right answer with VE, AE and NE
