Want this question answered?
When an element from anions, the radius of the ion increases when compared to that of the neutral atom. The same is the true for the element (phosphorus) and its anion (phosphide ion).
Phosphorus ion (P³⁻) typically gains three electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. As a result, it carries a charge of -3 and has a full outer electron shell.
Phosphorus forms P3- ion and it has 8 valence electrons (5 valence electrons from phosphorus and three from the charge).
The third period element that forms a 3- ion is sulfur.
Sodium forms +1 ion. Phosphorus forms -3 ion. The chemical formula of sodium phosphate, which is the product of theses two reactants is, Na3P.
P3- ion (phosphide ion) is formed
Phosphorus forms a -3 ion called phosphide.
When an element forms a negative ion, the name changes to IDE, fir example: chloride

Phosphorus usually forms compound negative ions as PO3-3 phosphite ion and PO4-3 phosphate ion in some cases P-3 phosphide ion also exists as in Ca3P2 as a positive ion phosphorus forms PH4+1 phosphonium ion.

potassium
The ion is awesom
When an atom becomes an ion, it is because the atom now no longer has a neutral charge. Nothing really happens besides this, unless it reacts to a different element.
Sodium forms +1 ion. Phosphorus forms -3 ion. The chemical formula of sodium phosphate, which is the product of theses two reactants is, Na3P.
