Interpretation: The resonating structures of
Concept introduction: Resonance is the process in which a molecule gets different structures to define its bonding within the molecule. Such molecules cannot be represented in single Lewis structures. Resonating structures of such molecules are called contributing structures. In the process of resonance, shifting of lone pairs occurs with the bonds and other lone pairs.

Answer to Problem 1.26SP
The reason corresponding to the given fact is stated below.
Explanation of Solution
Both the sulfur dioxide and ozone molecules are triatomic and both contain atoms of oxygen family. But the resonating structures of sulfur dioxide are more than ozone. The main reason for this is the difference in the group number of the central atom.
In sulfur dioxide, sulfur is present as a central atom, whereas in ozone oxygen atom is present as a central atom. Rest of the surrounding atoms in both the molecules are same. Atomic number of sulfur is sixteen. Whereas, oxygen has the atomic number eight. Therefore, sulfur contains third shell too and it is capable to handle extra bond by using empty “d” orbital and also able to show more resonating structures. This is not the case with ozone molecule. Hence, sulfur dioxide has more resonating structures than ozone molecule.
