| Color: | Exists in three main allotropic forms: white, black, and red. The same liquid is obtained from all forms on melting. Colorless or white, transparent, crystalline solid; waxy appearance; darkens on exposure to light. Sometimes called yellow phosphorus; color due to impurities. Two allotropic modifications: alpha-form exists at room temperature; cubic crystals containing P4 molecules; beta-form hexagonal crystals. /White phosphorus/ Yellow /allotropic form/: Colorless to yellow, wax-like solid. Black /allotropic form/: Polymorphic; orthorhombic crystalline form; amorphous form. Violet /allotropic form/: violet monoclinic Red /allotropic form/: Red to violet powder; polymorphism. |
| Usage: | Primary used in in the production of phosphorous based compounds. |
