gain 3
three
Sulfur needs to gain 2 electrons to have the electon configuration of Argon
they must gain one more electron in order to have noble gas electron configuration
It needs to lose 3.
Its outer shell needs 3 more electrons (because 2+3=5) you need 8 in order for the outer shell to become stable being that there is 5 on the outer shell already what plus 5 gives you 8 3 of course so that why you add 3.
3 more than it already has
Phosphorus need 3 electrons to complete its octet.
Phosphorus should gain 3 electrons and form P3- ion to attain a noble gas configuration
gain 3
Nitrogen has to gain three electrons
