Chapter 4, Problem 90CP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The resonance structures for PO43- should be drawn.

Concept introduction:

When more than one Lewis structure can be drawn for a molecule or ion, then it is said to have resonance.

It is generally the delocalization of electrons (bonds) over three or more atoms in a molecule for which one simple Lewis structure cannot depicts its correct structure.
