Phosphorus and chlorine would bond together to form a chemical compound called phosphorus trichloride (PCl3). They bond this way because phosphorus really wants to have an octet (eight electrons) in its outermost energy level, and chlorine really wants one more electron to make it stable. By giving one of its electrons to phosphorus, each chlorine atom can become more stable, and phosphorus gets the eight electrons it wants. So, they get together and share their electrons, making them happy and forming a strong bond!
