Valence Electrons in Phosphorus ☢️ (P) rev. 2022 [& Facts, Color, Discovery ...

A valence electron is an outer shell electron and may participate in the formation of a chemical bond. Ok but how many valence electrons does an atom of Phosphorus have?

In the case of Phosphorus the valence electrons is 3,5. Now let's check the facts about Phosphorus...

Description

Soft white waxy phosphorescent solid, brownish-red powder or black solid.

Uses

Used in the production of fertilizers and detergents. Some is used in fireworks, safety matches, and incendiary weapons. Also some applications for it and some of its compounds which glow in the dark.

Name Origin

Greek: phosphoros, (bringer of light).

Sources

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Valence Electrons in Phosphorus (P) [& Facts, Color, Discovery ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
