-3
What is the most likely charge on an ion of phosphorus P?
The most common charge of phosphorus is -5.
What will the charge on phosphorus be?
The phosphide ion has a charge of 3-. Its symbol is P3-.
What will be the charge when a phosphorus atom becomes an ion?
Most commonly, it will have a 3- charge.
What has 18 electrons and a charge of -3?
The phosphorus -3 ion. The phosphorus -3 ion gains 3 electrons and acts like argon.
What ion does phosphorus ion have?
Phosphorus ion (PĀ³ā») 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.
How many electrons are in a phosphorus Ion's outermost energy level?
Phosphorus forms P3- ion and it has 8 valence electrons (5 valence electrons from phosphorus and three from the charge).
What is the charge of the ion that phosphorus would form?
The phosphide ion, meaning phosphorous by itself not bound up in a poly-atomic ion, has a charge of -3 in ionic compounds.
What is the charge ot the ion that phosphorus p would form?
It would form the negatively charged phosphide ion with a charge of 3-, and the symbol P3- .
What is the Ionic charge of phosphorus?
Generally P3- ion in phosphides (so, charge is -3)
What is the charge in a phosphorus ion gaining or losing electrons?
Common valences are 5 or 3.
Based on the octet rule phosphorus most likely forms an ion having what charge?
p3-
