Step 1
The correct Lewis structure of PO43-
![a
:0](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/answer/fce9c41a-f729-4cbd-96b8-d41db6db1fba/7f0fcd01-28a9-4f5e-ae94-0fcc01f2b212/c47c5lu.png)
Step 2
Total valence electrons in PO43- is 3+5+6(4) = 32
![P=1s°2s°2p°3s°3p
O=1s²2s°2p*
no.of bonded electron
Formal charge=no of valence electron-no.ofnon-bonded electron-
FCon O=6-6-.
