What is the colour of the phosphorus allotrope in matches?
At one time white phosphorus was used, but it is not anymore; at present red phosphorus (which is actually a sort of maroon color) is used in some matches.
What colour flame do you get when you burn phosphorus?
When phosphorus is burned, it produces a bright white flame, which is due to the high temperature of the combustion process. The white flame is intense and can be used in pyrotechnic displays.
What is the form of phosphorus?
Phosphorus is a solid. There are various forms, allotropes of phosphorus:-White phosphorus consisting of P4 molecules - most familiar formRed phosphorus with chain structureViolet phosphorus with a complex layer structureBlack phosphorus a metallic looking substance with a layer structure
Is phosphorus is a metal?
No, phosphorus is not a metal. It is a nonmetal element that is part of the nitrogen group on the periodic table. It can exist in different forms such as white phosphorus, red phosphorus, and black phosphorus.

Word equation to represent what happens when phosphorus burns?
Phosphorus burns at very high temperatures, about 1600-1800oC, phosphorus is the red tip at the end of a kitchen match. The chemical formula for the combustion of Phosphorus is: P4 + 5 O2 yields P4O10
What element's allotropes names are based upon their colors?
This may mean phosphorus which has a number of allotropes some of which are based on their colour White phosphorus - P4 red phosphorus - amorphous and three crystalline forms all polymeric in nature black phosphorus - three forms are known - again polymeric violet phosphorus (aqlso called Hittorfs phosphorus) As you can see some of the coloured forms exist in different crystalline forms and therefore colour alone is not a good indication of which allotrope is meant. The wikipedia artcle is inaccurate- if you can access Greenwood and Earnshaw "Chemistry of the e lements" that has a good write up.
What it is phosphorus's state of matter at room temperature?
Presumably, phoshophorus at room temperature, would be at ... room temperature. It would be solid and melt at 44.2°C (white phosphorus: 111.56°F) or 610°C (black phosphorus: 1130°F)
