No, it doesn't have a complete octet. Phosphorous is in group 5A, meaning it has 5 valence electrons (5 electrons on its outest shell).

How many electrons are in the outer shell of phosphorus?
There are 5, it is in group 5 on the periodic table of the elements
How many shells does phosphorus have?
Phosphorus has 3 shells. The outer shell contains 5 electrons. The electronic configuration is :- 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p3
How many electrons does phosphorus have in its valence shell?
The atomic number of phosphorus is 15.its electronic configuration is 2,8,5.outermost shell has 5 electrons. it can accommodate 3 more electrons to complete its octet.so its valency is 3. and it has 5 electrons on its valence shell.
How many electrons must be gained for phosphorus to have a stable electron configuration?
Its outer shell needs 3 more electrons (because 2+3=5) you need 8 in order for the outer shell to become stable being that there is 5 on the outer shell already what plus 5 gives you 8 3 of course so that why you add 3.
Which has more outer electrons phosphorus or silicon?
phosphorus
How many more electrons does phosphorus have than boron?
Phosphorus has 10 more electrons. A neutral atom of phosphorus has 15 electrons, 3 in the outer 3p shell There are 5 electrons in a neutral atom of boron, 1 in the outer 2p shell.
How many electrons are in the innermost electron shell of a phosphorus atom?
There are 5 electrons in outer most shell of phosphorus it belongs to v group of periodic table.5.its atomic number is 15
How many electrons are in the outer shell of phosphorus?
There are 5, it is in group 5 on the periodic table of the elements
How many electrons in the outer shell of phosphorus are there?
5 because it is in group 5 on the periodic table
How many electrons in the outer energy level of phosphorus?
the energy levels are as follows: first shell 2 second shell 8 third shell 5
Do metalloids have a complete outer shell?
No, noble gasses do.
How many number of electrons to fill valence outer shell of phosphorus?
Each phosphorus atom requires three electros to fill its outer valence shell, giving the resulting ion the same electronic configuration as an atom of the next heavier noble gas, argon.
Is sodiums outer shell complete?
No. It has one electron which is readily lost to produce the Na+ ion. Note - the ONLY elements with a complete outer shell are the noble gasses.
How many shells does phosphorus have?
Phosphorus has 3 shells. The outer shell contains 5 electrons. The electronic configuration is :- 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p3
What are Atoms with a complete or closed outer shell?
a stable compound
What are atoms with complete closed outer shell?
The noble gases
Is the outer shell of iodine complete?
Iodine has 7 electrons in its outer most shell. It completes its valence shell by obtaining one electron to form iodide ion.
