Formal charge = valence electrons - lone pair electrons - bonds formed by that atom.
First structure :
This Structure is not possible because oxygen is more Electronegative than phosphorous thus phosphorous can't accept electron in presence of oxygen.
Second structure :
Third Structure :
Out of second and third structures, third structure contribute more towards the actual structure because structure will least formal charge is more stable and major contributor.

EO 3- resonance structures, formal charges, stability 1. Draw ONE possible significant additional resonance structure for each of the following ions. Use curved arrows to show the movement of electrons that creates each new resonance structure. (Hint: lone pairs are not shown. Start by drawing in all one pairs, and include all lone pairs and formal charges in your additional resonance structure.) Page 1 of 3 2. For each structure, draw the resonance structure that is indicated by the curved...
Draw three resonance structures for nitrosyl chloride (NOCl) and assign formal charges to each atom. (Nitrogen is the central atom) A) Which resonance structure is favored by formal charge considerations & why? B) For the favored resonance structure, what is the electron and molecular geometry around the nitrogen atom? What is the bond angle?
Write the Lewis structure, including resonance structures and formal charges of necessary (iv) S,08-
#1 and #2 please. QUESTION 1 Check ALL that are true of formal charges. Formal charge can be used to determine the best resonance structure. Formal charges of zero are most preferable. A more negative formal charge should go on a more electronegative atom. A formal charge of -2 is better than a formal charge of +1 for any atom, because negative formal charge is better than positive formal charge. QUESTION 2 Check ALL that are true of resonance structures...
