Igcse Model Questions Vol1 2021 Chemistry Question 29 diagram

The diagram shows the Lewis structure of sulfur dioxide (\(SO_2\)). Sulfur is the central atom, double‑bonded to each oxygen atom and possesses one lone pair. Based on this structure, state the molecular geometry, approximate bond angle, and give the total number of sigma (σ) and pi (π) bonds present in the molecule.

Answer Options

A. Linear geometry, bond angle ≈ 180°, σ bonds = 2, π bonds = 2
B. Trigonal planar geometry, bond angle ≈ 119°, σ bonds = 2, π bonds = 1
C. Bent (V‑shaped) geometry, bond angle ≈ 120°, σ bonds = 3, π bonds = 1
Correct Answer D. Bent (V‑shaped) geometry, bond angle ≈ 119°, σ bonds = 2, π bonds = 2
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
Bent (V‑shaped) geometry, bond angle ≈ 119°, σ bonds = 2, π bonds = 2
