Is SO2 bent?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking whether the molecular geometry of sulfur dioxide (SO2) is bent or not. This involves understanding the arrangements of the atoms and the lone pairs of electrons around the sulfur atom in the molecule.
Answer
bent
The final answer is bent
Answer for screen readers
