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.

boiling point (intensive): the temperature at which a substance boils
melting point (intensive): the temperature at which a substance
Umm its not a i think... lemme see lol
Answer:
Oxygen exists as a diatomic molecule in nature when it is not combined with any other element. It forms O2 molecule because it is stable when it is uncombined. It has the lowest energy level when uncombined. ... By achieving octet configuration, the diatomic elements become more stable compared to the single atom.
