why is that? can you explain it to me please?

thank you

It's trigonal planar, with 120 degree bond angles, and each bond is S=O.

Bond order is two, considering each and each and every double bond has a bond order of two. :O: // S: (SO2) :O: word: that is the favorite structure of SO2 word: there aren't any resonance structures the different answerer is supplying you with a non-favourite structure of SO2. the most options-blowing bond order is two.
