The S molecule of SO2 forms a double bond with one O and dative covalent bond with another O
Meanwhile,XeO4 is a molecule which Xe forms a double bond with each O
I have a question here
Why doesn't that S forms 2 double bonds with O to extend its octet structure?
Similarly,why doesn't that Xe form 4 dative covalent bond with O to maintain its octet structure?
