The electron configuration of phosphorus is [Ne]3s2.3p3.
The valence electrons are the outermost (highest energy) s and p sublevels. There are 5 valence electrons in a phosphorus atom, and it is in period 3, so its valence electron configuration is 3s23p3.
No, 3s2p3 is not the noble gas distribution for phosphorus. Phosphorus has an electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3, which is not a noble gas distribution. Noble gas distribution for phosphorus would be [Ne] 3s2 3p3.
It would be 3 electrons!Why?Antimony: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p3 Nitrogen: 1s2,,2s2,2p3Phosphorus: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3Arsenic: 3d10 4s2 4p3Bismuth: 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p3so on..
Phosphorus is likely to form the 3d orbital when it becomes an ion. This is because phosphorus typically forms the 3- charge, leading to it losing three electrons and leaving behind the 3d orbital in its ionized form.
2Added explanation:In the outer orbitals of Pt (Period VI, 5d-blocktransition elements, after the 4f-block-lanthanides) there are two unpaired electrons:the first is the odd one in 4f17 (or maybe by exchange with 5d10>9)and the other one is the odd one in 6s1

Yes, Ne 3s2p3 represents the electron configuration of phosphorus, not a noble gas distribution. Phosphorus has 15 electrons, with the electron configuration [Ne] 3s2 3p3, indicating that it has the noble gas core of neon with additional electrons in the 3s and 3p orbitals.

No, 3s2p3 is not the noble gas distribution for phosphorus. Phosphorus has an electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3, which is not a noble gas distribution. Noble gas distribution for phosphorus would be [Ne] 3s2 3p3.
"Noble gas configuration" means that in writing out an electron configuration for an atom, rather than writing out the occupation of each and every orbital specifically, you instead lump all of the core electrons together and designate it with the symbol of the corresponding noble gas on the periodic table (in brackets). For example, the noble gas configuration of phosphorus will be [Ne]3s23p3
For phosphorus [Ne]3s23p3
