    SO3 for the formal charges, we have: for the single-bonded oxygens F. C. = 6 - [1/2 (2) + 6] = - 1 for the double-bonded oxygen F. C. = 6 - [1/2 (4) + 4] = 0 for the sulfur F. C. = 6 - [1/2 (8) + 0] = 2 Again, the formal charges add to zero. The oxidation numbers of O and S are - 2 and + 6, respectively. Note the three resonance forms!
