Consider the lewis structure for the polyatomic oxyanion


Consider the Lewis structure for the polyatomic oxyanion shownbelow, where X is an element from the 3rd period (Na- Ar). By changing the overall charge, n, from 1-to 2 -to 3 - we get three different polyatomic ions.

Part A: For each of these ions identify the central atom, X.

Part B: For each of these ions determine the formal charge of the centralatom, X.

Part C: For each of these ions draw a Lewis structure that makes the formalcharge on the central atom equal to zero.

Part D: For the above image, is it the correct Lewis Structure?
