Answer:

5

Explanation:

The full electronic configuration of the element is

1s²2s²2p63s²3p³

The total number of electrons = addition of the index

That is number of electrons = 2+2+6+2+3 = 15

Therefore the atomic number of the element is 15.

Name of element with atomic number 15 is Phosphorus with symbol P

Number of electrons in the atom of the element is 15.

Using KLMN configuration = 2:8:5

Therefore number of valence electrons is 5
