Best Answer

The Lewis dot structure of SO2, or sulfur dioxide, has a central atom of sulfur that violates the octet rule. The central atom of sulfur has one lone pair and is double bonded to two oxygen atoms. Sulfur has valence electrons in the 3rd energy level, allowing access to the 3d sublevel and more than 8 valence electrons.
