    How Does SO3 Form 3 Pi Bonds Without an Expanded Octet Structure?

    Since SO3 has an expanded octet structure, the central S should form three double bonds with O, meaning S forms 3 pi bonds in total. However, after hybridisation of S, there are less than three unpaired electrons in unhybridised p-orbitals of S. How can S form 3 pi bonds when there aren’t enough...
