Ohh we got a hottie here
OpenStudy (leenathan):
try to help @duke and also @I_Am_Kye welcome to open study i would think the answer is gain 3 but i may be wrong
OpenStudy (aaronq):
"gain 3 electrons" is correct. If you look at a periodic table you can see P is group 5 (which means it has 5 valence electrons) so in order to have 8 valence electrons it needs 3 more.
