Question

How would you solve this? Please explain in how you solve in simple steps 

5. Selenite (SeO3²") has a central selenium atom to which the other
atoms are bound. Draw the Lewis Dot structure that obeys the octet rule. Next
draw a Lewis Dot structure that obeys the formal charge rule and draw all the
other resonance structures possible. Choose one of the resonance structures
and clearly label the formal charges of all the atoms. Choose one of the three
oxygen atoms on your resonance structures and clearly label on each structure
whether that oxygen has a single, double or triple bond.
