Lewis Dot Structures: Polyatomic Ions

Consider the Lewis structure for the polyatomic oxyanion shown here, where X is an element from the third period ( Na-Ar ). By changing the overall charge, n, from 1- to 2- to 3-we get three different polyatomic ions. For each of these ions (a) identify the central atom, X; (b) determine the formal charge of the central atom, X; (c) draw a Lewis structure that makes the formal charge on the central atom equal to zero.
