Answer:
Four
Explanation:
P has five valence electrons. It can form bonds to three other atoms (like H) to form a triangular pyramidal molecule with a lone pair on the P atom.
If P atoms are to form bonds with each other, we can get a stable arrangement by putting each atom at the corner of a tetrahedron.
In a P₄ molecule, each atom still has three bonds and a lone pair.
