At normal temperatures, phosphorus is a solid.
Phosphorous Is A Solid
solid solid
solid state
powder
Yes it is. Every and anything that is an element or composed of an element is matter.
Phosphorus can, in fact, exist as covalent crystals in the solid state. Phosphorus usually exists in the solid state as non-covalent crystals. Under intense pressure, however, the bonds can become covalent.
The oxidation no of phosphorus is +3 and that of chlorine is -1.
Phosphorus stays in tetra atom form in its elemental state and its formula is P4
phosphorus, the second member,though a solid, can pass readily into vapour state.
Element Phosphorus has an oxidation state of -4. No element has oxidation state of +4. Phosphorus is denoted by "P".
