well core electrons is the number of total electrons minus valence electrons so.......Phosphorus has 18 electrons and 5 valence electrons so 18 - 5 = 13 so there are 13 core electrons

∙ 10y agoPhosphorus has 15 electrons per atom. Out of those, 5 are valence electrons. That means phosphorus has 10 core electrons.
15 electrons and 15 protons
this depends on what you mean the "core". there is a nucleus in an atom which is the very centre where the protons and neutrons are but the electrons spin around the nucleus in shells. the first shell has a maximum of 2 the second, a maximum of a 8 and so on.

Phosphorus has 15 electrons per atom. Out of those, 5 are valence electrons. That means phosphorus has 10 core electrons.
Phosphorous has a total of 15 electrons, and of those, 3 of them are valence shell, or bonding electrons. So, 12 electrons are core electrons, and are non-bonding.
Phosphorus has five electrons in its outermost energy level (valence electrons).
phosphorus will accept 3 electrons or share 3 electrons
15 electrons and 15 protons
There are 5 valence electrons in the atom phosphorus.
Phosphorus is a non metal element. There are 15 electrons in a single atom.
15 electrons
The neutral atom of phosphorus has 15 electrons in the atom.
PHOSPHORUS (P): Protons: 15 Electrons: 15 Neutrons: 16
Phosphorus wants to gain three electrons to have 8 valence electrons.
A neutral phosphorus atom has 15 electrons.
