To illustrate the Lewis structure,
P has 5 valence electrons
O has 6 valence electrons (each for 4 oxygen)
And finally, for every negative charge, there is an additional valence electron
We should add these all up = 5 + 24 + 3 = 32 valence electrons
With this, we can be guided to illustrate the lewis structure as P as central atom and the 3 oxygen each with a single bond with P and 1 oxygen with a double bond with P. We place the valence electrons until octet rule is satisfied,
we will be left with 12 lone pairs for phosphate ion.
I got on here because I don't understand the question but I did my best to answer because I noticed you asked 3 days ago. IF I'm right the answer is D. My diagram shows
A at -50 °C
B at 0 °C
C at 50 °C
D at 100 °C (gas to liquid or liquid to gas)
And E at 150 °C
So I hope I'm right because I'm answering the same question.
