How phosphorus is stored?
Red phosphorusis not stored under either water or oil. It is rather safe, although friction can convert it towhite phosphorus. Red phosphorus is used in some matches.It is white phosphorus that is the real nasty one. That is stored under water. White phosphorus ignites spontaneously in contact with air. That is the element used in some military munitions.

Can elements with variable valency can be stored in water?
Yes, elements with variable valency can be stored in water. However, the reactivity of the element will determine how stable it is in water. Some elements may react with water to form oxides or hydroxides, while others may remain stable. It is important to consider the specific properties of the element in question when storing it in water.

Which non metal is kept under water and why?
Sodium is a non-metal element that is kept under water because it reacts violently with moisture in the air, which can lead to fires or explosions. Placing sodium under water prevents it from coming into contact with air and ensures its safe storage.
Is magnesium stored under oil?
No, magnesium is not typically stored under oil. Magnesium is a reactive metal that can react with water and air, so it is usually stored under a dry and inert atmosphere like argon or mineral oil to prevent oxidation.
