 it is a poor electrical conductor, has a relatively high electronegstivity, and a relatively high ionization energy.

webstar0: Phosphorus, being a non-metal, is an electron acceptor, so it must gain electrons to form a stable structure. In this case, Phosphorus - 2, 8, 5 - requires 3 electrons to form the Phosphide ion (P3-) - 2, 8, 8 - which resembles an Argon atom.
