This may mean phosphorus which has a number of allotropes some of which are based on their colour
White phosphorus - P4
red phosphorus - amorphous and three crystalline forms all polymeric in nature
black phosphorus - three forms are known - again polymeric
violet phosphorus (aqlso called Hittorfs phosphorus)
As you can see some of the coloured forms exist in different crystalline forms and therefore colour alone is not a good indication of which allotrope is meant.
The wikipedia artcle is inaccurate- if you can access Greenwood and Earnshaw "Chemistry of the e lements" that has a good write up.
What else can I help you with?
What names the elements that combine to form a compound?
The chemical name of the compound is often based on the names of the elements that are part of it. However, for many simple organic compounds it is not possible to determine the component elements.
Where do elements that are placed in the same family get their name from?
The names are assigned to them based on their properties.
What elements have English names?
english-names of elements.
Where does the elements get their names?
Elements got their names from their latin names,greek gods,or from the names of the persons who discovered them.
The names of which elements are based on Greek word for new?
Actually there are two elements based on the Greek word for new ("neos"). They are neon (atomic# 10) and neodymium (atomic#60). For more info check out this webpages: Neon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon Neodymium: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neodymium
The common names for the allotropes of element v are based upon their colors?
blue
Who gave the names to the colors?
The names of colors have been developed over centuries and are influenced by various cultures and languages. Early humans named colors based on natural elements, such as plants, minerals, and animals. Over time, these names evolved, and each culture contributed to the lexicon of color names. Today, standardized color naming systems, like those used in design and art, help provide consistency across different contexts.

What are the basis of naming elements?
Elements are named based on various factors such as their discovery, properties, origin, or historical context. Some elements are named after scientists, places, mythological figures, or even colors. The names of elements are often derived from Latin or Greek roots to reflect their characteristics or properties.
What elements have English names?
english-names of elements.
Why symbols in the periodic table are not base from their names?
Symbols in the periodic table are not based on the names of the elements for several reasons. Firstly, many elements have names that are derived from a different language than English, leading to different initials. Also, some elements have had their names changed over time, making consistency difficult. Lastly, using unique symbols helps to prevent confusion between elements with similar names.
Where does the elements get their names?
Elements got their names from their latin names,greek gods,or from the names of the persons who discovered them.
How do coumpounds get there names?
A compound's name is generally based on the elements invoved. The process of naming them is taught in basic chemistry.
Why Au is the symbol of gold?
The periodic table of the elements is based on Latin names. The Latin word for gold is "aurum."
How did they name the colors?
The names for colors came about the same way the names for all other things came about. The words we use today, such as the words for colors, can be traced back to the origins of written languages, which means that they date from before history was written. Since the word for blue, for example is different in French, English and Spanish, it shows that language evolves as it comes down through the ages of time. The names of these words for colors probably began when language was first created.
