How many equivalent resonance structures can be drawn for the molecule of SO3 without having to violate the octet rule on the sulfur atom

Seven equivalent resonance structures for the molecular of SO3 can be drawn without breaking the octet rule.

We can arrive at this answer because:

In an SO3 molecule, electrons are shared between atoms. This sharing can be done with seven resonance structures.

These structures are shown in the figure below.

Explanation:

Resonance is a valence bond concept put forward by Linus Pauling to explain the fact that the observed properties of a molecule may be as a result of the fact that its actual structure lie somewhere between a given number of structural extremes called canonical structures or resonance structures.

There are three resonance structures for SO3 that obey the octet rule. All the S-O bonds in SO3 are equivalent in these resonance structures.

i think so it’s will be b yes i believe its
