Why phosphorous has 5 electron in its valence shell |
|
Answer» Answer: It should be 3 because phosphorus has 5 electrons in its valence shell. ... THEREFORE it accepts 3 electrons and completes its OCTET because ACCEPTING 3 electrons would be much EASIER than to donate 5 electrons. Since the valency of phosphorus is 3 but they can expand their valency ,because of the vacent d orbital |
