it has 5
26 because phosphorous has five valence electrons and flouride has seven times three.
Phosphorous (P) actually has a total of 15 electrons, but the 3 electrons referred to in the question are VALENCE electrons, i.e. outermost electrons.

Zinc has two valence electrons.
Aluminum has 3 valence electrons.
Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons.
Here are 16 valence electrons: 3 from H, 8 from O and 5 from P.

Phosphorous has 5 valence electrons. So, you need 3 more to complete it.
Phosphorous has 5 valence electrons. So, you need 3 more to complete it.
there are five valence electrons in an atom of phosphorus
26 because phosphorous has five valence electrons and flouride has seven times three.
Aluminium has three valence electrons and phosphorous has five, hence the latter has more.
Phosphorous (P) actually has a total of 15 electrons, but the 3 electrons referred to in the question are VALENCE electrons, i.e. outermost 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.
