The element exhibits resonance (4 times) as there is a double bond with 1 oxygen and a single with the other 3 oxygen. This switches in each resonance structure. (I know its weird b/c I leaves Phosphorus with 10 electrons surrounding it)

∙ 15y agoThe central phosphorus atom has 8 bonding electrons and 0 lone pair electrons for a total of 8+ 0 = 8 electrons in its valence shell.
Since the total number of electrons around P is equal to 8, the octet rule is obeyed.

∙ 9y agoThe Lewis dot structure of phosphate (PO4^3-) is drawn by the following procedure. Place a P atom in the center. Single bond this P atom to 3 separate O atoms. place a - sign by each O atom. Double bond the P to one more O atom.

Does CaCO3 have a Lewis structure?
No, not exactly. It is an ionic compound so it would not have a Lewis dot structure. However, the carbonate anion, CO3^2- does have a Lewis dot structure.

What is the Lewis dot structure for copper?
The Lewis dot structure is a diagram to show the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and pairs of electrons that may exist. The Lewis dot structure for chromium is Cr with two dots on top and bottom, and four dots on both sides.

What is the difference between Lewis symbol and Lewis structure?
The difference between the Lewis dot structure and the structural formula is that the formula only shows the bonds that have formed whereas the dot structure shows all the valence electrons, including lone pairs, in that molecule.
