what bond order should be observed for the sulfur-oxygen bond in the sulfur dioxide molecule???

Bond order is 1.5 -- in between double and single because it's a resonance structure.

Bond order is 2, since each double bond has a bond order of 2.

//
S: (SO2)
\\
:O:
NOTE: this is the PREFERRED structure of SO2
NOTE: there are NO resonance structures
The other answerer is providing you with a non-preferred structure of SO2. The correct bond order is 2.

that's achievable to polymerize oxygen only love that's nitrogen, different than that's complete under pressure. i believe it does no longer from O4 using an standard shrink in bond order. check out MO concept.
