VSEPR Theory Lewis Structure and Gemoetry question.

OpenStudy (gitface):

\[PO _{2}CN\] Given structure|dw:1354395181746:dw| My Structure |dw:1354395223926:dw| Is this correct? How do I determine the Electron group Gemoetry for both P and C? Molecular Gemoetry for P and C?

OpenStudy (gitface):

Solved it. For anyone interested; The structure is correctly drawn. Phosphorus and Carbon both have formal charges of 0. The Electron Group geometry of P is trigonal planar, and the Molecular geometry is also trigonal planar. The Electron Group geometry for C is linear, and the Molecular geometry is also linear.
