1s22s22p63s23p3 is for Phosphorus and the most likely ion is to be a 3- because it wants to have a full outer shell therefore the answer is 1s22s22p63s23p6

Does phosphorus have access to a d orbital?

Yes, phosphorous (and sulfur) have access to a d orbital. It's a bit weird (as is most chemistry), in the ground state phosphorous does not have any d orbital electrons, however, d orbital hybridization is used to explain why phosphorous can form more than the "octet" number of bonds, such as PCl5. This d orbital is also used when describing phosphorous as a pi-acceptor ligand, and the reason it can be considered a pi-acceptor ligand is because it does have access to that d orbital, which can accept the metal's e- density. Hope that helped.


What is a molecular orbital?

What region is an electron most likely to be found called?

The region in an atom where an electron is most likely to be found is called an orbital. Orbitals are defined as the three-dimensional spaces around the nucleus where electrons have the highest probability of being located.


Based on the octet rule phosphorus most likely forms an ion having what charge?

Phosphorus most likely forms an ion with a charge of -3. This is because phosphorus, with 5 valence electrons, can gain 3 electrons to achieve a full octet and become more stable by attaining a noble gas electron configuration.
