SO3 2- Lewis Structure - How to Draw the Lewis Structure for SO3 2- (Sulfite Ion)

A step-by-step explanation of how to draw the SO3 2- Lewis Structure (Sulfite Ion). For the SO3 2- Lewis structure the total number of valence electrons (found on the periodic table) for the SO3 2- molecule. In the Lewis structure of SO3 2- structure there are a total of 26 valence electrons. SO3 2- is also called Sulfite ion. Once we know how many valence electrons there are in SO3 2- we can distribute them around the central atom with the goal of filling the outer shells of each atom. For the Lewis structure for SO3 2- you should take formal charges into account to find the best Lewis structure for the molecule. It will be necessary to create a double bond on the Oxygen (O) atom for the formal charges to work. Also note that you should put the SO3 2- Lewis structure in brackets with as 2- on the outside to show that it is an ion with a negative two charge. ---- Steps to Write Lewis Structure for compounds like SO3 2 ----- 1. Find the total valence electrons for the SO3 2- molecule. 2. Put the least electronegative atom in the center. Note: Hydrogen (H) always goes outside. 3. Put two electrons between atoms to form a chemical bond. 4. Complete octets on outside atoms. 5. If central atom does not have an octet, move electrons from outer atoms to form double or triple bonds. ---- Lewis Resources ---- • Lewis Structures Made Simple:    • How to Draw Lewis Structures: Five Easy Steps   • More practice:    • Lewis Dot Structure Practice Problems (wit...   • Counting Valence Electrons:    • Finding the Number of Valence Electrons fo...   • Calculating Formal Charge:    • Formal Charges: Calculating Formal Charge   • Exceptions to the Octet Rule:    • Exceptions to the Octet Rule   Lewis Structures are important to learn because they help us understand how atoms and electrons are arranged in a molecule, such as Sulfite ion. This can help us determine the molecular geometry, how the molecule might react with other molecules, and some of the physical properties of the molecule (like boiling point and surface tension).
