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.
No, phosphorus is not lustrous. It is a non-metallic element that exists in several different forms, such as white phosphorus, red phosphorus, and black phosphorus, none of which exhibit a shiny or lustrous appearance.
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.
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 mines
Phosphorous is a macronutrient.
Phosphorous is indispensable for plants.
Pressure is a force that exists in nature. No one invented it.
