Detailed Solution

The geometry of SO2 is bent because the lone pair on the central sulphur atom pushes the two bonds down for a bond angle of 120o due to the electrons repulsion. This is what makes of SO2 a polar molecule because the dipole moments of both bonds of not cancel out, the molecule will have a net dipole moment.
