White phosphorus is soluble in carbon disulfide (CS2) due to its nonpolar nature. White phosphorus molecules have an arrangement of P4 tetrahedra linked by weak van der Waals forces, making them compatible with the nonpolar solvent CS2. This allows the white phosphorus molecules to dissolve in CS2 through interactions such as dispersion forces.
What else can I help you with?
Is phosphorus soluble in water?
Phosphorus is not soluble in water in its elemental form. However, certain phosphate compounds like phosphates are soluble in water.
What is the difference between red phosphorus and white phosphorus?
White phosphorus is obtained by roasting Calcium phosphate rocks and then reducing them using silica White phosphorus reacts with air vigorously that is it burns instantly in presence of oxygen and show phophorescence property ( it emits bright luminous green light in dark in prsence of small amount of oxygen ) , hence it is stable below 125'C and red phosphorus is stable above 125'C. If you heat white phosphorus upto 125'C in absence of air you get red phosphorus. White phosphorus has 4 atoms of P linked in tetrahedral shape, where as red phosphorus have amorphous network arrangement hence red phosphorus is more stable. White P is soluble in carbon di sulfide and small amount in water, but red P is not soluble in both water and carbon disulfide. white P is used in explosives, incendiaries, bullets etc
Is phosphorus oxide soluble in water?
No, phosphorus oxide is not soluble in water. It reacts with water to form phosphoric acid, but it does not dissolve in water as a pure compound.
What is the oxidation number of phosphorus in white phosphorus?
The oxidation number of phosphorus in white phosphorus is 0.
Is CS2 miscible?
CS2 carbon disulfide is a non polar compound, a liquid (smelly!). It is miscible with other non-polar solvents.

How is phosphorus in the origin of life?
•Meteorite Phosphorus rusts to form soluble P and reactive P
What is the oxidation number of phosphorus in white phosphorus?
The oxidation number of phosphorus in white phosphorus is 0.
What element has a red and white form?
Phosphorus is an element that has a red and white form. The red form is known as red phosphorus, while the white form is known as white phosphorus.
Is CS2 miscible?
CS2 carbon disulfide is a non polar compound, a liquid (smelly!). It is miscible with other non-polar solvents.
Does white phosphorus burn easily?
White phosphorus is very flammable.
Is phosphorus a fat or water soluble?
i beleive that potassium is fat soluble
Which common allotropes are red and white?
phosphorus
Is cs2 soluble in water?
Yes, carbon disulfide (CS2) is insoluble in water because it is a nonpolar covalent compound and water is a polar solvent. The difference in polarity between the two substances prevents them from mixing or dissolving in each other.
