[1] [2] [3] Introduced by Gilbert N. Lewis in his 1916 article The Atom and the Molecule, a Lewis structure can be drawn for any covalently bonded molecule, as well as coordination compounds. [4] Lewis structures extend the concept of the electron dot diagram by adding lines between atoms to represent shared pairs in a chemical bond.
The molecule SO 3 is trigonal planar.As predicted by VSEPR theory, its structure belongs to the D 3h point group.The sulfur atom has an oxidation state of +6 and may be assigned a formal charge value as low as 0 (if all three sulfur-oxygen bonds are assumed to be double bonds) or as high as +2 (if the Octet Rule is assumed).

The most common Lewis bases are anions. The strength of Lewis basicity correlates with the pK a of the parent acid: acids with high pK a 's give good Lewis bases. As usual, a weaker acid has a stronger conjugate base. Examples of Lewis bases based on the general definition of electron pair donor include: simple anions, such as H − and F −
Draw the structure, and save it as a ChemDraw file. If you drew the structure before applying any settings, then you need to select the object, open the "Object" menu and choose "Apply document settings from → ACS Document 1996". Then save it as a PNG file, to be read by an image editor such as GIMP or IrfanView (see below for details).

The number of electron pairs in the valence shell of a central atom is determined after drawing the Lewis structure of the molecule, and expanding it to show all bonding groups and lone pairs of electrons. [1]: 410–417 In VSEPR theory, a double bond or triple bond is treated as a single bonding group. [1]
S 4 N 4 is a Lewis base at nitrogen. It binds to strong Lewis acids, such as SbCl 5 and SO 3, or H[BF 4]: S 4 N 4 + SbCl 5 → S 4 N 4 ·SbCl 5 S 4 N 4 + SO 3 → S 4 N 4 ·SO 3 S 4 N 4 + H[BF 4] → [S 4 N 4 H] + [BF 4] −. The cage is distorted in these adducts. [1] S 4 N 4 reacts with metal complexes, but the bonding situation may be quite ...
