The phosphorus ion P- is highly reactive.
In fact, the high bond energy is what powers almost all cellular activity. (See Adenosine TriPhosphate, commonly called ATP.)
Phosphorus, however, also tends to bond with oxygen, creating less active phosphate radicals (PO4). This becomes phosphoric acid (what makes cola taste like cola) or can bond with positive ions to form compounds such as calcium phosphate (found in your bones).
In the P4 molecule, the angle between bonds is small, only 60°. This results in bond angle strain, which makes the molecule unstable.
Yes, very reactive, more than silicon, nitrogen and sulfur (neighbours in periodic table. But it is not the most reactive nonmetal, which is fluorine.
Phosphorus - to keep the oxygen in the air from oxidizing it.
NOONE
The molecules of phosphorus are unstable, making the phosphorus highly reactive. It reacts readily with oxygen in the air.
Phosphorus is a non-metal. because It has Non - metal properties Like it is Brittle non lustrous etc .
Yes, very reactive, more than silicon, nitrogen and sulfur (neighbours in Periodic Table. But it is not the most reactive nonmetal, which is fluorine.
Yes, very reactive, more than silicon, nitrogen and sulfur (neighbours in periodic table. But it is not the most reactive nonmetal, which is fluorine.
NO, not in their pure form. Phosphorus is much more reactive.
Phosphorus - to keep the oxygen in the air from oxidizing it.
No. Phosphorus is solid at room temperature and is highly reactive.
phosphorous is a highly reactive nonmetal but fluorine is more reactive
No. Phosphorus is a reactive nonmetal.
NOONE
The molecules of phosphorus are unstable, making the phosphorus highly reactive. It reacts readily with oxygen in the air.
Because phosphorus is very reactive non metal. It catches fire if exposed to air. To prevent the contact of phosphorus with atmospheric oxygen,it is stored in water. Whereas,sodium is very reactive. It reacts vigorously with oxygen and water. A lot of heat is generated in the reaction. It is, therefore,stored in kerosene
helium is non reactive.
