For PBr4^+ you have...
Valence electrons in P = 5
Valence electrons is Br = 7 and there are 4 of them so total = 28
This gives a total of 33, but you subtract 1 because of the + charge on the ion,
Thus total valence electrons shown in the Lewis dot will be 32.
A Lewis diagram shows the valence electrons. They are the numbers that are from 1-8
The electrons in the outermost shell of an atom is known as the valence electrons. These valence electrons determine the reactivity of the atom.

The Lewis structure of an atom gives a clear illustration of the valence electrons.
The maximum number of electrons in a Lewis structure is eight, which is an octet of electrons.
