Due to its high reactivity, phosphorus is never found as a free element on Earth. Inorganic phosphate rock, which is partially made of apatite is the chief commercial source of this element today.
Elements normally do not form "molecules" apart from 3 gaseous elements which form diatomic molecules. However, Sulfur exists in molecules comprising 8 atoms, while Phosphorous exists as a 4 atom molecule.
The crystal structure of phosphorous is monoclinic.
Francium exists in uranium and thorium ores.
Numerous elements exist as diatomic molecules in nature, including hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, and iodine.
Yes, conduction exists in nature. It is the process by which heat or electricity is transferred through a material without the material itself moving. Examples in nature include the warming of the Earth's surface by sunlight and the transfer of heat through the metal handle of a hot pan.
No, it is most commonly regarded as tetratomic (tetra=4) molecule: P4
No. Generally in form of phosphate in nature.
Elements normally do not form "molecules" apart from 3 gaseous elements which form diatomic molecules. However, Sulfur exists in molecules comprising 8 atoms, while Phosphorous exists as a 4 atom molecule.
The reason for this lies in the atomicity of Nitrogen an phosphorous.Nitrogen exists as a diatomic molecule whereas phosphorous exists as P4molecule. Therefore, the nature of interactions in phosphorous are stronger as compared to nitrogen and hence it has a higher melting point than Nitrogen and exists as solid at room temperature.
...as a solid.
Everything that exists anywhere, including outer space, qualifies as "nature".
Shape and/or symmetry is the concept of balanced form that exists in art architecture science nature and mathematics.

Phosphorous is a macronutrient.
Phosphorous is indispensable for plants.
Pressure is a force that exists in nature. No one invented it.
