a) Draw a valid lewis electron dot Structure for phosphorus trichloride (PCl3) accounting for all valence electrons

Draw or state the shape of PCl3 molecules

How many 'lone pairs' does this molecule have?

b) Draw a valid lewis electron dot Structure for carbonate ion (CO32-) accounting for all valence electrons

Draw or state the shape of CO32- ions

How many 'lone pairs' does this ion have?
