The Lewis dot structure of the sulfite ion (SO3^2-) is as follows:
O=S=O
|
O^-
In this structure, there are a total of 26 electrons.
O=S=O
|
O^-
In this structure, there are a total of 26 electrons.

```
O=S-O⁻
```
The sulfite ion has a total of 24 electrons.
- Sulfur (S) has 6 valence electrons.
- Each oxygen (O) has 6 valence electrons.
- The negative charge (-1) indicates that the ion has one extra electron.
Total electrons = 6 (S) + 6 (O) + 6 (O) + 1 (- charge) = 24
O=S-O⁻
