There are three single bonds total, one between each of the chlorine atoms and the central phosphorus atom. The phosphorus atom has an additional lone pair of electrons and is thus a has a tetrahedral geometry.
there are 16 nuetrons in phosphorus atom
A phosphorus atom has one nonbonding pair of electrons.
Today are known the phosphorus molecules P2 and P4.
What type of atom or molecule is in lamppost
A white phosphorus molecule is in the shape of a regular tetrahedron, that is a pyramid with an equilateral triangle for its base. At each corner of the molecule is a phosphorus atom.
PH3
A PH3 molecule has a triangular pyramidal shape. The central atom is the Phosphorus atom, which is connected to three Hydrogen atoms.
In a molecule of phosphorus fluoride, the phosphorus atom is in the center, and it is surrounded by the three fluoride atoms which are arranged at three of the four points of a tetrahedron. (The fourth point of the tetrahedron contains an electron pair from the phosphorus atom.)

PCl3 is not an atom, it is a molecule that is comprised of one phosphorus atom and three chlorine atoms. If you wish to learn more about it, this is the link to it's wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus_trichloride Hope that helps
The neutral atom of phosphorus has 15 electrons in the atom.
No. phosphorus is a basic element.
There are 5 valence electrons in the atom phosphorus.
