Phosphorous has 5 valence electrons.
So, you need 3 more to complete it.
Elements having electrons in their third valence shell can be found in the third row of the periodic table (elements 11-18).
Look at the first element on the periodic table. The first energy level holds only two electrons, so Helium has filled its outer energy level. Atoms with an outer energy level that is not fill will fill it up by bonding with other atoms and sharing electrons.
32 electrons
All elements except hydrogen have two electrons in the first energy level.
The electron configuration of an element shows the number of electrons in their energy levels and orbitals. For example, the electron configuration of a neutral magnesium atom, Mg, with 12 electrons, is 1s22s22p63s2. This means that there are two electrons in the s orbital of the first energy level, two electrons in the s orbital and six electrons in the p orbital of the second energy level, and two electrons in the s orbital of the third energy level. The number in front of each letter represents the energy level, the letter represents the orbital, and the superscripts represent the number of electrons in the orbital.

5 electrons
there are five valence electrons in an atom of phosphorus
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3 (phosphorous)
Ionization energy
no. of electrons to fill an energy level = 2n2. = 2x32 = 18
This is the second ionization energy.

Covalent [the sharing of a pair of electrons] bond energy.
Nitrogen has atomic number = 7. The outer shell has 5 electrons, it requires 3 more electrons to complete the outer energy shell.
