Be sure to answer all parts. Determine the electron-group arrangement, molecular shape, and ideal bond angle for the following molecule: SO3 Electron-group arrangement: V-shaped (bent) trigonal planar trigonal pyramidal seesaw Molecular shape: bent square pyramidal trigonal planar trigonal pyramidal Ideal bond angle: degrees

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!
