Question

1. stem the diagram shows the structure of a molecule of sulfur dioxide. the ratio of oxygen atoms to sulfur atoms in sulfur dioxide is always the same. how many oxygen atoms (o) are there when there are 6 sulfur atoms (s)? explain how you got your answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine O:S ratio in SO₂

Sulfur dioxide (SO₂) has 1 S and 2 O atoms, so O:S = 2:1.

Step2: Calculate O atoms for 6 S atoms

O atoms = 2 × S atoms = 2 × 6 = 12

Answer:

12
