Identify the element in question, which is phosphorus (P).
Determine the group number of phosphorus in the periodic table. Phosphorus is in group 15 (or group V in older notation).
Recall that the group number for main-group elements corresponds to the number of valence electrons for that element.
Since phosphorus is in group 15, it has 5 valence electrons.
Therefore, the number of valence electrons in phosphorus is 5.
