Vedclass · Answer

(D) The $SO_2$ molecule has a bent geometry with $sp^2$ hybridization at the sulfur atom.It contains one lone pair of electrons on the sulfur atom.According to $VSEPR$ theory,the lone pair-bond pair repulsion is greater than the bond pair-bond pair repulsion.This causes the bond angle to decrease from the ideal trigonal planar angle of $120^{\circ}$ to approximately $119.5^{\circ}$.

$S_8$	$A$
$P_4$	$B$
$S_6$	$C$
$O_3$	$D$
