Why Phosphate has a -3 Charge. Explained with Lewis Structure

Описание: In this video, we explain why the phosphate ion carries a -3-charge using the Lewis Structure. You will learn how to:

Count valence electrons for phosphorous and oxygen
Draw the correct Lewis structure of Phosphate ion
Identify how extra electrons leads to the -3 overall charge.
Understand charge distribution in the Phosphate ion
This tutorial makes it easy to see how electron sharing and formal charges add up to give phosphate its characteristics negative three charge.

Topics covered:
Valence electrons of P and O
Step by Step Lewis structure drawing
Formal charge calculation
Explanation of -3 charge origin
