12 are paired, 3 are unpaired
To figure this out make a Bohr diagram! :)

Phosphorus has five valence electrons.
Why are the first ionisation energies of sulfur and aluminium lower than those of phosphorus and magnesium?
Well between Magnesium and Aluminium there is a change in sub-shells as the outer most electron in Aluminium is within the p-shell, where as the Magnesium is within the s-shell . This means the electron within Aluminium is further away from the nucleus, in addition there is more shielding involved. Consequently the electron needs less energy to force it away phosphorus and sulphur and are in the same shell , however sulphur contains a extra electron to phosphorus. This extra electron is paired with another electron which in turn as the both are negatively charge repel each other , making it easier to force the electron out :)
How many electron groups are around the central phosphorus atom?
The answer is 1. This is because the only atom with lone paires is phosphorus and it only has 1.
