No. Phosphorus is a chemical element; phosphors are materials, not necessarily elements, that emit light slowly enough to be useful light sources in the dark, without the need for applied electric current or other external energy supplies. The light emitted may have been absorbed from the environment experienced by a phosphor before its light is emitted and stored in the phosphor in the form of a metastable excited state of an atom, or it may arise from slow chemical reaction among, or radioactive decay of, one or more constituents of the phosphor.
What else can I help you with?
What does phosphors?
Activators initiate, improve, maintain the luminescence of phosphors.,
What atom is in the same period as phosphorus?
Sulfur is in the same period as phosphorus on the periodic table.
Which element is in the same group as phosphorus?
Phosphorus is in group 15 (or 5A) of the periodic table. Elements in the same group as phosphorus include nitrogen, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth.
Is carbon in the same period as phosphorus?
No. Carbon belongs to period 2 whereas Phosphorus belongs to period 3.
Which element is in the same period as phosphorus - carbon nitrogen oxygen and magnesium?
The only element out of those listed which is on the same row of the periodic table as phosphorus is magnesium.
Can you eat phosphors?
Although I would not recommend it, yes you can as most are non-toxic.If however you meant elemental Phosphorus instead of phosphors, NO, some form of Phosphorus are deadly poisons and white Phosphorus spontaneously ignites on contact with air!!!If you don't know the difference between phosphors and Phosphorus, that is the subject of a different question.
Why are light bulbs coated with phosphorus?
They aren't. Ordinary filament lamps aren't coated with anything at all. The inside of fluorescent lamps are coated with a mixture of phosphors (NOT phosphorus but very complex metal salts). Fluorescent lamps work in two major steps. The electric current causes mercury vapour to emit ultra-violet light. The UV is absorbed by the phosphors and they re-emit it as coloured light. The mix of phosphors are there to emit a variety of colours so that the overall effect is a white light.
What does phosphors?

What atom is in the same period as phosphorus?
Sulfur is in the same period as phosphorus on the periodic table.
What are phosphors and why are they found in washing powder?
Phosphorus, a nonmetallic chemical element, is a mineral and never found alone in nature. It is found in washing powder because it is useful for softening water and to prevent pipe corrosion.
Which element is in the same group as phosphorus?
Phosphorus is in group 15 (or 5A) of the periodic table. Elements in the same group as phosphorus include nitrogen, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth.
Is carbon in the same period as phosphorus?
No. Carbon belongs to period 2 whereas Phosphorus belongs to period 3.
What is Sr3P2?
Sr3P2 is a chemical compound made up of strontium (Sr) and phosphorus (P) atoms. It is also known as strontium phosphide and is classified as an ionic compound due to the transfer of electrons between strontium and phosphorus atoms. It is commonly used in the production of phosphors for cathode ray tubes and fluorescent lighting.
Which element is in the same period as phosphorus - carbon nitrogen oxygen and magnesium?
The only element out of those listed which is on the same row of the periodic table as phosphorus is magnesium.
CRT screens are coated with which material?
The screen is coated in phosphorous. Sneighke: That is completely false. CRTs depend on phosphors. Three differing ones. Red, green, and blue. Though phosphorus is an element used, it's not what "screens are coated with".
Is phosphorus the same as potassium?
Nope - phosphorus and potassium are two completely different elements. The chemical symbol for Phosphorus is P - and for Potassium, it's K.
What is the chemical formula for Black phosphorus?
Red, yellow and black phosphorus have the same emperical formula P4.
