Do the Lewis structures obtained in Exercises 71 and 72 predict the same molecular structure for each

Question:

Do the Lewis structures obtained in Exercises 71 and 72 predict the same molecular structure for each case?


Data from Exercises 71 

Draw Lewis structures that obey the octet rule for the following species. Assign the formal charge to each central atom.
\(\mathrm{POCl}_{3}\)
\(\mathrm{ClO}_{4}^{-}\)
\(\mathrm{PO}_{4}{ }^{3-}\)
\(\mathrm{SO}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\)
\(\mathrm{XeO}_{4}\)
\(\mathrm{ClO}_{3}^{-}\)
\(\mathrm{NO}_{4}^{3-}\)

Data from Exercises 72 
Draw the Lewis structures that involve minimum formal charges for the species in Exercise 71.
