Calculate the bond order for an ion with this configuration: \({\left( {{{\bf{\sigma }}_{{\bf{2s}}}}} \right)^{\bf{2}}}{\left( {{\bf{\sigma }}_{{\bf{2s}}}^{\bf{*}}} \right)^{\bf{2}}}{\left( {{{\bf{\sigma }}_{{\bf{2px}}}}} \right)^{\bf{2}}}{\left( {{{\bf{\pi }}_{{\bf{2py}}}}{\bf{,}}{{\bf{\pi }}_{{\bf{2pz}}}}} \right)^{\bf{4}}}{\left( {{\bf{\pi }}_{{\bf{2py}}}^{\bf{*}}{\bf{,\pi }}_{{\bf{2pz}}}^{\bf{*}}} \right)^{\bf{3}}}\).
Sulfuric acid is manufactured by a series of reactions represented by the following equations:
\(\begin{array}{l}{{\rm{S}}_{\rm{8}}}{\rm{(s) + 8}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{(g)}} \to {\rm{8S}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{(g)}}\\{\rm{2S}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{(g) + }}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{(g)}} \to {\rm{2S}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{(g)}}\\{\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{(g) + }}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{O(l)}} \to {{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{4}}}{\rm{(l)}}\end{array}\)
Draw a Lewis structure, predict the molecular geometry by VSEPR, and determine the hybridization of sulfur for the following:
