Answer:

Phosphorus

Explanation:

Phosphorus has 15 total electrons. Its first shell can hold 2 electrons. Its second shell can hold 8 electrons. The remaining 5 electrons are in its third shell (the third shell can hold up to 18 electrons).

2 electrons (1st shell) + 8 electrons (2nd shell) + 5 electrons (3rd shell) = 15 total electrons (the number of electrons P has).

Why both men and women could become victims of violence
ycow [4]
Because some people don't care if your a man or a woman they'll still try to harm you which is wrong cause i don't see why people have to kill each other but they do its out of bad habit and its also what they choose in life some people choose to be murders and some choose to go to work and have a family instead of being in jail for the rest of your life unless your sentenced to death. But some people don't understand a lot of things but i do well some but i do know this that when people kill someone they may feel bad but sometimes they don't they feel happy and wanna do it again so they run and try not to get caught. but life isn't fair but lets hope that the world will come around again if it ever does but its always gonna be on the news that someone is murdered.
