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.

there are five valence electrons in an atom of phosphorus
The energy required to remove electrons from an atom is called ionization energy. It is the minimum energy needed to remove an electron from a neutral atom in the gaseous phase.
no. of electrons to fill an energy level = 2n2. = 2x32 = 18
Noble gases have a complete set of valence electrons in their outermost energy level, which is why they are known to be stable and unreactive.
Nitrogen has five electrons in its outermost energy level (the second shell), which can hold a maximum of eight electrons. To achieve a stable octet configuration, nitrogen requires three additional electrons. Thus, three additional electrons are needed to fill its outermost energy level.
This is the second ionization energy.

If the first energy level is complete with two electrons, then the elements hydrogen and helium have two elements in their electron configuration. Hydrogen has one electron in its first energy level, while helium has two electrons filling its first energy level.
As each electron is removed, the successive ionization energy values increase. However, the ionization energy increases a lot when the sixth electron is removed. This suggests that the sixth electron is removed from a shell which is closer to the nucleus.
Covalent [the sharing of a pair of electrons] bond energy.
