Why phosphorus is not found in nature?
Phosphorus us found in nature, but in the form of phosphate compounds rather than in pure elemental form. This is because phosphorus is highly reactive and will readily react with oxygen in the air.
Is carbon more reactive than phosphorus?
NO, not in their pure form. Phosphorus is much more reactive.
Is phosphorus manmade or synthetic?
Phosphorus is a chemical element. So it existed long before man appeared on earth and is, therefore, definitely not man-made. However, because it is so reactive it is never found in its pure form on earth. Thus, any quantity of the pure substance must be made by us from one of the phosphorus compounds that occurs naturally.
Is P4 an ionic compound?
P4 is not a compound, it is an allotrope (form of a pure element) of phosphorus consisting of covalently bonded atoms.
How much does phosphorus cost per 100g?
it cost $30 for 100g of pure phosphorus
