shape of H2SO4
I tried to use VSERP to draw the shape of H2SO4
but consider S :6 (group6) 4O :2*4 2H :1*2 ----------- 16=>4pi bond but then 4 pi bond of oxygen=16 electrons how about the sigma bond of 2 hydrogen |

From memory SO4(-2) has the S as the central atom, two O's oppositely have a pi bond, and the remaining two have sigma bonds each with a negative charge. The H's are attached to these O's.

S:6 2O:1*2(sigma) 2O:2*2(pi) 2H:1*2 ---------- 14 but 2pi+4sigma=16 again, it does not work |

Hint: Look at your electron count and then look at the charge on sulfuric acid.
