Lewis structure
![Draw the Lewis structure of white phosphorus. Start by drawing the overall structure of the molecule: Count the total valence electrons of the phosphorus (n_P, val = 5) atoms: 4 n_P, val = 20 Calculate the number of electrons needed to completely fill the valence shells for phosphorus (n_P, full = 8): 4 n_P, full = 32 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 32 - 20 = 12 bonding electrons are needed. Each bond has two electrons, so the above diagram has all the necessary bonds. There are 6 bonds and hence 12 bonding electrons in the diagram. Lastly, fill in the remaining unbonded electrons on each atom. In total, there remain 20 - 12 = 8 electrons left to draw: Answer: | |](../image_source/1498f2eb50787468470a175a9f398ecd.png)
