Phosphorus is atomic number 15 when it comes to bonding with other adams what is phosphorus most likely to do

Phosphorus which lies to the right side of the periodic table (group 5) has an electronic configuration in the simple form 2,8,5 and a spdf configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p³.

Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons for bonding.  As a result, an atom of phosphorus shares its electrons with another atom to form COVALENT bonds rather than removing or adding on electrons to form ionic bonds like the group 6 and group 7 elemental atoms.  This is ideal since it would take a high amount of energy to release these five electrons, and it would be unlikely for atoms to lose 5 electrons to donate to phosphorus.
