What is the formal charge of so4 2?
If the sulfur is assumed to have a single bond to each oxygen, the sulfur is assigned four electrons (half of the eight electrons in the four single bonds). Because a free sulfur atom has six valence electrons, the sulfur is this diagram is assigned a formal charge of +2.
What is the formal charge of so3 2?
Hi. The Lewis Structure for sulfite has 3 resonance structures in which the Sulfur has a formal charge of 0 and two of the oxygens have a formal charge of -1.

How do you calculate charge on SO4?
Formal Charge = Valence Electrons – Nonbonding Valence Electrons – (Bonding Electrons/2)
- Formal Charge = 6 – 6 – (2/2) = -1.
- The remainder of oxygen atoms will have the same formal charge.
How do you calculate the charge of SO4?
Each of the oxygens is assigned a formal charge of -1 because a free oxygen atom has six valence electrons and each oxygen in the diagram is assigned seven electrons (the six electrons in three lone pairs and one bonding electron). Thus, the formal charges add up to the overall charge on the ion -2 = +2 + (4x(-1)).
What is the charge for SO3?
no charge
The Oxidation states in SO3(g) are: Sulfur (+6) & Oxygen (-2), because SO3(g) has no charge.
