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.

Is phosphorus a solid liquid or gas?

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.


What is phosphorus a solid liquid or a gas at room temperature?

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.


Is 3s2p3 the element phosphorus of noble gas distribution?

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.

Is phosphorous a gas?

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.


Is phosphorus a solid liquid or gas in room temperature?

Solid.There are two allotopes of Phosphorus; Red Phosphorous and White Phosphorus, both are solids at room temperature under standard pressure.


Why can't solid phosphorus can not be melted by heating in a container?

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.


Does liquid phosphorus fertilizer have the same properties as red phosphorus found in fireworks?

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.


What is formed by heating phosphorus with oxygen gas?

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...

Is white phosphorus sublimable?

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.
