The choices that should have accompanied this question were:
A. 1
<span>B. 2 </span>
<span>C. 3 </span>
<span>D. 4
</span>
My answer is B. 2.
Below is an explanation, I found while doing the research.
<span>Phosphate needs 3 electrons each totaling 6 electrons so each zinc will need to give up 2 electrons.
Phosphate wants to imitate the electron configuration of Argon because noble configurations are the most stable. With P getting the extra electrons the valence shell will be 3s2 3p6, which is the same as Argon. Without the extra electrons, the P valence shell looks like this 3s2 3p3, now you can see why each phosphorus wants 3 more electrons, that will make it 3s2 3p6, just like Argon.</span>

What kind of question is this
Answer:
A chemical bond is defined as the force which helps to bind more than two atoms in a molecule. There are different types of chemical bonding are present in molecules such as:
1) Ionic bonding: Because of the transfer of electrons it is present in ionic compounds. BaS is an example of ionic bonding which is containing some covalent character.
2) Covenant bonding: Because of the sharing of electrons it forms molecules. Rubber is the example of covalent bonding with some van der walls.
3) Metallic bonding: In the free state it is present in atoms of metal such as Brass is a good example of a metallic bonding because it is a metal alloy.
4) Van der walls bonding: In atoms, It includes repulsion and attraction. Solid xenon is the example of Van der wall bonding because it is an inert gas.
