Solution
The correct option is
A
P
O
3
−
4
In a valid lewis structure, the central atom should have a complete octet i.e., follow the octet rule.
(
a
)
Central atom,
P
has 10 valence electrons.
(
b
)
Central atom,
S
i
has 8 valence electrons.
(
c
)
Central atom,
C
has 8 valence electrons.
(
d
)
Central atom,
C
has 8 valence electrons.
Hence,
P
O
3
−
4
violates the octet rule.
