"Sulfur Dioxide can be represented as a sulfur atom with double bonds to each of two oxygen atoms, explain the shape of this molecule and predict the bond angle".

This molecule is v-shaped. There are three areas of electron density surrounding the central sulfur atom, these three areas of electron density repel as far apart as possible, explained by the VSEPR theory, thus bond angles in this molecule are 120 degrees.
