Detailed Solution

The S in SO3 has 2 electrons in s-shell and four electrons in p- shell, Thus in second excited state we get 1 electron in  s , 3 electron in p and 2 in d orbitals.

Therefore SO3 is formed in 2nd  excited state of ' S '

Molecule of SO3 contains both Pπ=Pπ bonds and Pπ-dπ bonds as there are 1 electron in  s , 3 electron in p and 2 in d orbitals.

As we know that K2Cr2O7 works as an oxidant.

The reactions are as follows:

Cr2O72-(aq)+SO32-(aq)Cr3+(aq)+SO42-

K2Cr2O7+3SO2+H2SO4K2SO4+Cr2SO43+H2O

γ-SO3 is less stable than α-SO3
