Want this question answered?
Phosphorus forms P3- ion and it has 8 valence electrons (5 valence electrons from phosphorus and three from the charge).
Phosphorus with 3 more electrons than protons.
15 protons 18 electrons And I believe roughly 16 neutrons
Most probably 10 electrons as a phosphide ion with 3-charge has 8 valence electrons.
The phosphide ion has 18 electrons as it forms an anion with the valency of three.

[Ne]3s^23p^6P3-. P is in group V (group 15 moden periodic table) so gains three electrons, each carrying a 1- charge.
P3- or phosphide ion is formed. it has the same number of electrons as the noble gas, argon
Phosphide itself is not much. I think what you mean is the phosphide ION. The formula for phosphorus is P, as you must know, but the phosphide ion is P3- ( the ionic charge being in superscript) And it is so because when bonding, Phosphorus will gain three more electrons to complete its full octet as before bonding, it only has 5 electrons in its valence shell.
Phosphorus should gain 3 electrons and form P3- ion to attain a noble gas configuration
Most probably 10 electrons as a phosphide ion with 3-charge has 8 valence electrons.
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
