Phosphorus is a solid.
It is a highly reactive, poisonous, non-metallic element occurring naturally in phosphates, especially apatite, and existing in three allotropic forms, white (or sometimes yellow), red and black.
White phosphorous is the one manufactured industrial; it glows in the dark, is spontaneously flammable when exposed to air and is a deadly poison.
Red phosphorous can vary in colour from orange to purple, due to slight variations in its chemical structure.
Black phosphorous, is made under high pressure, looks like graphite and has the ability to conduct electricity.
It is used in safety matches, pyrotechnics, incendiary shells, and fertilizers and to protect metal surfaces from corrosion.
As an acid (Phosphoric Acid - H3PO4), it is highly corrosive.
