It is NEITHER at standard temperature and pressure. The pure element (which is practically never found in a pure form) is a white/yellow waxy solid, or a red amorphous solid, or a black powdery solid.
But it does form both liquid and gaseous compounds at room temperature.
Phosphorus can exist in any of these three forms, but is a waxy solid at standard conditions.Some Additional Information:White phosphorus is solid at temperatures below 44.2° C,gas at temperatures above 280.5° C, and liquid in between.
Solid phosphorus sublimes when heated, meaning it changes directly from a solid to a gas without going through a liquid phase. This is due to the weak van der Waals forces between the phosphorus molecules, which are not strong enough to hold them together in a liquid state.
Do you mean heating Phosphorus THEN putting it in oxygen gas? Because the reaction that will create is glowing and also condensation that causes vapor. The description of the gas is opaque and white. Not really sure what the gas is tho...
Phosphorus trichloride is a colorless liquid at room temperature. It has a strong and unpleasant odor resembling that of hydrochloric acid.
Phosphorus gas is a reactive non-metallic element that exists as a dimer with the formula P4. It is colorless and has a distinctive garlic-like odor. Phosphorus gas is highly toxic and flammable, and it can spontaneously ignite in air.
Phosphorus can exist in any of these three forms, but is a waxy solid at standard conditions.Some Additional Information:White phosphorus is solid at temperatures below 44.2° C,gas at temperatures above 280.5° C, and liquid in between.
Phosphorus is a solid at room temperature. It exists in different allotropes, with white phosphorus being the most reactive and common form at room temperature.
No, 3s2p3 is not the noble gas distribution for phosphorus. Phosphorus has an electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3, which is not a noble gas distribution. Noble gas distribution for phosphorus would be [Ne] 3s2 3p3.
The white phosphorus melt at 44,2 0 0C.
Anything can be found in the 3 basic forms or liquid, solid, or gas, but phosphorous is normally found as a solid, but since it reacts with oxygen it is not normally found in an elemental form.
Solid.There are two allotopes of Phosphorus; Red Phosphorous and White Phosphorus, both are solids at room temperature under standard pressure.
Solid phosphorus sublimes when heated, meaning it changes directly from a solid to a gas without going through a liquid phase. This is due to the weak van der Waals forces between the phosphorus molecules, which are not strong enough to hold them together in a liquid state.
No, liquid phosphorus fertilizer and red phosphorus used in fireworks are different forms of phosphorus. Liquid phosphorus fertilizer is typically in the form of phosphoric acid or phosphates, which are used to provide plants with essential nutrients. Red phosphorus is a chemical compound with different properties and is used in pyrotechnics for its flammable properties.

For phosphorus [Ne]3s23p3
The noble gas electron configuration of Phosphorus is [Ne] 3s2 3p3
Yes, white phosphorus is sublimable, meaning it can transition directly from a solid to a gas without passing through a liquid phase. This occurs when white phosphorus is heated above its sublimation point of around 416 degrees Celsius.
