For H2SO4 we have a total of 32 valence electrons. Put a pair between the atoms. We're forming chemical bonds here. We've used 8, 10, 12, and then around the outside to fill the octets on the Oxygens, 14, and 32.So this looks like a pretty good Lewis structure for H2SO4. In the H 2 SO 4 Lewis structure Sulfur is least electron electronegative atom and goes in the center of the Lewis structure. 2  When we have an H (or H2) in front of a polyatomic molecule (like CO 3, SO 4, NO 2, etc.) we know that it's an acid.
The sulfur atom is in the +6 oxidation state while the four oxygen atoms are each in the â2 state. The sulfate ion carries a negative two charge and is the conjugate base of the bisulfate (or hydrogen sulfate) ion, HSO 4 â , which is the conjugate base of H 2SO 4, sulfuric acid.he sulfur atom is in the +6 oxidation state while the four oxygen atoms are each in the â2 state.
