Chapter 9, Problem 9A.3BE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structures of SO2 and SO3 have to be described in terms of valence-bond theory.

Concept introduction:

The hybridization is the process of combining atomic orbitals to get the appropriate directional properties and improved overlapping of atomic orbitals.  A hybrid orbital is formed by the mixing of orbital.  The mixing of a s orbital and a p orbital result in the formation of sp hybridized orbital.  The mixing of a s orbital and two p orbital result in the formation of sp2 hybridized orbital.  Similarly, other hybridized orbitals are formed.
