Is phosphorus harmful or dangerous?
Phosphorus is toxic. It can be acutely toxic in larger quantities, and can cause a gruesome condition called "phossy jaw" in lower doses. Phosphorus is also pyrophoric, meaning it will spontaneously ignite in air. The oxide formed from burning phosphorus is also toxic.

A word equation to represent what happens when sulfur burns to make sulfur dioxide?
. It can further react with moisture in the air to eventually form suplhuric acid. This is typical of the so-called acid rain phenomena. This is often found near refineries and power staions where coal or oil contining large amounts of sulpur is usedWord Equation: Sulphur + Oxygen ---> Sulphur Dioxide=Dno but i say sulphur trioxideto be a balanced equation it is S + 2O --> SO2Sulphur itself is generally safe to handle, but many sulphur compounds are more risky. Some are extremely toxic, and you should always be careful to follow listed precautions of chemicals like sulphur dioxide.
