Answer 1

Draw the complete Molecular Orbital Diagram for the sulfite dianion, \(\sf \color{red}{SO_3^{2-}}\). Indicate the lone pairs of the sulfite dianion on the MO diagram.

Some relevant orbital energies: \(\sf \color{red}{S:~3s = -20.7 ~eV}\), \(\sf \color{blue}{S:~3p = -11.7 ~eV}\), \(\sf \color{green}{O:~2s = -32.3 ~eV}\), \(\sf \color{purple}{O:~3p = -15.9 ~eV}\)

Answer 2

Forgot the 2- charge

Answer 3

MOD are the ones that look like this right?
