Answer:
The Lewis structure for PO43- has 32 valence electrons available to work with. You should check the formal charges to make sure that the total charge of the atom is -3. Since it's an ion you need to put brackets around the Lewis structure and then put a -3 outside.

Explanation:
the best Lewis structure should ideally have each atom with a charge of 0 on it. In PO43-, P can hold more than 8 valence electrons (period 5). So, if P makes a double bond with one of the oxygen atoms then P will have a charge of 0 and so will the doubly bonded O atom.
