Detailed Solution

SO2 hybridization involves the hybridization of two 3p orbitals and one 3s orbital. Two-hybrid orbitals have unpaired electrons, whereas one hybrid orbital has a Ione pair. The 3 d and 3p orbitals stay unchanged and form pi bonds. SO2 molecule geometry is thought to be V-shaped or bent. Sulfur dioxide's electron geometry, on the other hand, is shaped like a trigonal planar. The three pairs of bonding electrons form a 119-degree angle. Two double pairs are linked together, as well as one lone pair, giving it a bent form.)
