phosphorus 3-
The most common charge of phosphorus is -5.
Generally P3- ion in phosphides (so, charge is -3)
-3
A cation has a positive charge and an anion has a negative charge.
Phosphorus ions are negative.
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.
phosphorus 3-
It has a negative charge; to be more specific it has a charge of -3, since it has only 5 valence electrons and it would like to gain 3 more to be stable at 8.
The most common charge of phosphorus is -5.
Phosphorus can be bi-, tri-, penta- and hexavalent.
Generally P3- ion in phosphides (so, charge is -3)
The oxides of phosphorus are covalent. There are no ionic charges.
A cation has a positive charge and an anion has a negative charge.
-3
I am pretty sure it is PH5 P=Phosphorus (charge of three) H= Hydrogen (charge of one) Penta= charge of 5 since it's Pentahydride, penta=5(takes Phosphorus' place of charge on hydrogen) Since Hydrogen has a charge of one, it doesn't show on Phosphorus
Group VA (15th column from the right) has a charge of negative 3. Elements in this group include nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, and antimony.
