Is this correct for SO2?

Yay! Chemistry questions!
Okay, to the point though: No, I don't believe that is right. I think it's more along the lines of a double bond from Sulfur to each Oxygen atom.
Here we go. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e4/Sulfur-dioxide-2D.svg/800px-Sulfur-dioxide-2D.svg.png. I hope that helps?
*Nods at Zhan's diagram.*
What you did, Daph, is possible, but probably isn't a stable compound. (I think...)
its not each one wants 8 ions in its outer ring (i think thats it, this was for GCSE over 2 years ago)
Thanks so much!
I had a friend at school explain it to me, so I hope I don't make anymore mistakes, but thanks for the diagrams. (:
