Lewis structure of PO3-1 – Simple Method for Lewis Electron Dot Structures
Simple Method for writing Lewis Electron Dot Structures of the phosphite ion(PO3)-1 Home > Lewis structures and the Octet rule > Simple Method for writing Lewis Structures of the phosphate ion (PO 4 ) -3 > Simple Method for writing Lewis Electron Dot Structures of the phosphite ion(PO 3 ) -1 Lewis Structures of the Phosphite Ion (PO 3 ) -1 A simple method for writing Lewis electron dot structures is given in a previous article entitled “Lewis Structures and the Octet Rule”. Several worked examples relevant to this procedure were given in previous posts please see the Sitemap - Table of Contents (Lewis Electron Dot Structures) . Another example for writing Lewis structures following the above procedure is given inthis post. Let us consider the case of the Lewis structures of phosphite ion PO 3 - . Step 1 : The central atom will be the P atom since it is the less electronegative. Connect the atoms with single bonds: 3 -1 atoms connecte...
