Phosphorus has five electrons in its outermost energy level (valence electrons).
An atom with 5 electrons in its second energy level will form 3 covalent bonds. These atoms are "trivalent." Nitrogen, for example, has 7 electrons, two in the first energy level, and five in the second. There are 3 bonding pairs of electrons and one set of unpaired electrons. Ammonium (NH3+) is one example.
Phosphorous
It has 2 unpaired electrons and 8 empty electron levels.
You shouldn't use terms like "outer level", because they're confusing. It could potentially mean at least two things, specified more precisely below. The highest occupied energy level of a ground state neutral carbon atom, the 2p level, has two electrons. The number of electrons in a ground state neutral carbon atom that have a principal quantum number of 2 (the highest associated with any electrons in such an atom) is four.
Nitrogen has five electrons on the outer level.
There are 3 valence electrons in the highest energy level of Nitrogen. Nitrogen has a total of 5 valence electrons.
Outer electrons, or Valence Electrons, for nitrogen is 5 electrons. The first electron level requires 2 electrons, an electron pair, to fill it and move on to the next level. Nitrogen has 7 electrons, so 7-2=5.
Nitrogen has 5 electrons in its outer shell, and Bromine has 7 electrons in its outer shell.
