Phosphorus fertilizer can exacerbate the mobility and bioavailability of heavy metals in contaminated soils. It may enhance the solubility of certain metals, increasing their uptake by plants, which can lead to higher concentrations of these toxic elements in the food chain. However, phosphorus can also help immobilize some heavy metals by forming stable complexes, potentially reducing their phytotoxicity. The overall effect depends on the specific soil composition, heavy metal types, and environmental conditions.
Nitrogen and Phosphorus
Phosphorus is not typically described as having a luster like metals; instead, it is usually found in several allotropes, such as white, red, and black phosphorus. White phosphorus has a waxy appearance and can be somewhat shiny, while red phosphorus is more opaque and dull. Black phosphorus has a layered structure and can exhibit a metallic luster, but overall, phosphorus does not have a consistent luster characteristic like metals do.
No; sulfur and phosphorus are nonmetals.
Class D, combustible metals.
Phosphorus spontaneously ignites on contact with air, producing toxic fumes (phosphorus oxides). Phosphorus reacts violently with oxidants, halogens, some metals, nitrites, sulfur, and many other compounds.
There are seven non metals -Hydrogen -Carbon -Nitrogen -Oxygen -Phosphorus -Sulfur -Selenium
copper and aluminium are metals since their metals the effect is that their good conductors
The primary use of apatite is in the manufacture of fertilizer, being a source of phosphorus. Apatite also is used in the fluoridation of drinking water and to put protective coatings on metals to prevent rust.
Both allotropes of Phosphorus are non metals.
Yes, phosphorus is a poor conductor of heat. It has a low thermal conductivity compared to most metals and some nonmetals.
