Lewis Structure help please?

Ok I know this is 8th grade stuff here but I'm sooo out of it right now and my friend's not replying to my texts and google is no help lol.I need the lewis dot-diagram/structure of these last 2 compounds I'm really struggling with.AlP3 (it just seems like phosphorus doesn't have enough valence electrons)and(someone in class added this onto the last at the last minute to be smart, i'm not sure this is even a real compound)if you could take the time to type out the drawing (which is hard, i know, but it's the only way i'll understand your answer) ex: NH3 becomes the following: .H: N :H Hexcept i need that for AlP3 and try using periods and colonsall answers are greatly appreciated!

Answer:

you could but it is better to use reusable silicone sheetsIf you like the foil then i would spray with non stick spray just for extra precaution
P: Al:P: P: Aluminum has 3 valence electrons, that attach to one of Phosphorous's electrons leaving 2 in each of the shells of the Phosphorousfor the Arsenic Sulfide it must be As2S3If it isn't then disregard the drawing below Arsenic has 3 valence electrons, Sulfur has 2 .As:As:S S S Notice there is one extra on one of the arsenics and the second sulfur on the bottom should be attached to the second As
