If exposed to air with a high oxygen content, pure phosphorous powder will explode violently, fusing with the oxygen molecules to create the highly inflammable and unstable compound P2O3, Phosphorous Trioxide. Upon combustion, phosphourous will also frequently react with other gases to form Phosphorous Nitrate and Phosphorous Dihexacarbobutalate, both being dangerously unstable at room temperature.

What will happen if metals are exposed to water and air?
Metals can undergo corrosion when exposed to water and air. This can result in the formation of oxides or hydroxides on the metal surface, leading to deterioration or weakening of the metal over time. Regular maintenance or applying protective coatings can help prevent corrosion.
What will happen to plants if they are not exposed to light?

What will happen to the pH inside of a thylakoid that is exposed to light?
It will decrease.
What is the crystal structure of phosphorous?
The crystal structure of phosphorous is monoclinic.
Why red phosphorous is stored inside water?
Because it is very unstable. It spontaneously combusts when exposed to the air.
What will happen if a piece of bread is exposed to air?

What element glows in the dark when previously exposed to light?

What will happen to metals when exposed to acids?
Rust is formed in metals when it exposed to oxygen and moisture in air and in the presence of acid.
What happen when bleaching powder is left exposed to air?
it gradually looses its color.
What would happen if the plants got no phosphorous?
if a plant has no phosphorous,the plant will die after sometime because lack of phosphorous leads to yellowing of the leave which will lead to death

Does chlorine evaporate when exposed to air?
Yes, chlorine can evaporate when exposed to air.
Is there evaporation during night?
Yes. It might not occur as fast, but the water is still exposed to the air.
What kind of decaying organism turn into phosphorus?
Phosphorous is a highly reactive element and is not found in nature. Indeed some varieties of phosphorous will spontaneously ignite when exposed to air. As an element, is cannot be transformed, or changed into anything. This element is commonly found in bones, and thus bird guano contains a concentration of phosphorous compounds, (from the fish the birds ate) and which may be easily released into agriculture. The 'rag and bone' man of the 18th and 19th centuries collected the scrap household bones for fertilizer manufacture.
