the electronic configuration of phosphorus atom is 2,8,5. give the electronic configuration of phosphide ion ( P^-3)

Open in App

Solution

Atomic number of phosphorus = 15
Electronic configuration of phosphorous = 2,8,5
Now , phosphorous will gain three electrons and become phosphide ion = P³-
Electronic configuration of P³^- = 2,8,8
