How many unpaired electrons does phosphorus with the charge of negative three have?

18. Phosphorus posses 15 electrons and 15 protons, respectively its charge is 0.By accepting 3 more electrons, with their negative charge the total charge of the atom would decrease by 3.So the total charge would be -3 and the total number of electrons would be 18.
