- Why is the bond order in the SO₃ molecule 1. 33 and not 2?
15 $\ce {SO3}$ molecule has three double bonded oxygen to the central sulfur atom Sulfur has $\ce {sp^2}$ hybridization and it has 6 outer electrons which make the bonds with the oxygen So shouldn't the bond order be 2?
- Mechanism of sulfur trioxide reaction with water to make sulfuric acid
$\ce {SO3}$ is a strong electrophile, enough to react quickly with water, which is a relatively weak nucleophile A water molecule is added to the structure, facilitated by the dislocation of a $\ce {S=O}$ bonding electron pair in $\ce {SO3}$ to the oxygen atom, forming the intermediate structure shown
- Bents rule for Sulfur trioxide and Sulfur dioxide
How is Bent's rule applied on $\ce {SO3}$ and $\ce {SO2}$? Bond length of $\ce {SO3}$ < $\ce {SO2}$ Is this a direct consequence of applying the Bent's rule?
- Is SO3 an ion or a molecule? - Chemistry Stack Exchange
For one thing, $\ce {SO3^ {2-}}$ has two extra electrons, so it's an ion $\ce {SO3}$ is a neutral molecule There are a different number of electrons, so they're just different
- Which d orbitals of sulfur take part in the pi bonds of SO3?
For the complete molecular orbitals of $\ce {SO3}$ have a look at this question and answer Apart from this the question is incomplete In order to determine which orbitals take part in bonding, you have to know the position of the symmetry defining elements Otherwise the naming of the orbitals is completely interchangeable
- Why is Sulfur trioxide a neutral electrophile?
My chemistry book says, an electrophile is a reagent which is atrracted to electrons, therefore positive ions and reagents with incomplete octets act as electrophiles, Sulfur trioxide belongs to ne
- How to shift SO3 SO2 equilibrium? - Chemistry Stack Exchange
In this case, if I want to decrease the amount of $\ce {SO3}$, I need to shift the equilibrium to the left, meaning that I need to decrease the concentration of $\ce {SO3}$ Based on my understanding of Le Chatelier's principle, changing the temperature will have the opposite effect on the equilibrium because the reaction is exothermic
- How is sulphur trioxide formed and why is it stable?
Closed 7 years ago Structure of $\ce {SO3}$ (sulfur trioxide): In the molecule, if each oxygen atom shares two electrons with sulfur atom then how does the sulfur atom remain stable? It already has 6 valence electrons and needs only 2 more to become stable but the oxygen atoms share total of 6 electrons with sulfur atom So how is the molecule
