Phosphorus (P).
12 are paired, 3 are unpaired To figure this out make a Bohr diagram! :)
Outer electrons are the electrons that are borrowed or stolen in a reaction. Because a non-metal has a negative oxidation number, it will borrow electrons from a metal to complete its outer shell. Metals have positive oxidation numbers and tend to lose electrons in reactions.
The elements that have 5 electrons in the dot diagram means that they have 5 valence electrons. These elements are found in group 5A. Elements include, nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth.
15 protons.
Phosphorus has five electrons in its outermost energy level (valence electrons).
Phosphorus has 15 electrons per atom. Out of those, 5 are valence electrons. That means phosphorus has 10 core electrons.
phosphorus will accept 3 electrons or share 3 electrons
15 electrons and 15 protons
There are 5 valence electrons in the atom phosphorus.
Phosphorus is a non metal element. There are 15 electrons in a single atom.
15 electrons
The neutral atom of phosphorus has 15 electrons in the atom.
PHOSPHORUS (P): Protons: 15 Electrons: 15 Neutrons: 16
Phosphorus wants to gain three electrons to have 8 valence electrons.
Phosphorus is a group 15 element. All group 15 elements have 5 valence electrons. Thus, phosphorus has 5 valence electrons.
Phosphorus forms P3- ion and it has 8 valence electrons (5 valence electrons from phosphorus and three from the charge).
