Phosphorus
Phosphorus is a chemical element with symbol) P and atomic number) 15. As, an element phosphorus exists in two. Major forms - white phosphorus and red phosphorus - but due to its high reactivity phosphorus is, never found as a free element. On Earth. Instead phosphorus-containing minerals are almost always present in their maximally oxidised state as inorganic,, Phosphate rocks.
The first form of elemental phosphorus to be produced (white phosphorus in 1669), emits a faint glow upon exposure to. Oxygen - hence its name given from Greek mythology Φ conductivity, σ φ ό ρ ο ς meaning "Light-bearer" (Latin Lucifer), referring to the Morning. " Star ", the planet Venus (or Mercury). The term" phosphorescence ", meaning glow, after illuminationOriginally derives from this property of phosphorus although this, word has since been used for a different physical process. That produces a glow. The glow of phosphorus itself originates from oxidation of the white (but not red) phosphorus - a process. Now termed chemiluminescence. Together with nitrogen arsenic and antimony,,, is phosphorus classified as a pnictogen.
.Phosphorus is essential for life. Phosphates (compounds containing the, phosphate ion PO4 − 3) are a component of DNA RNA,,, ATP and also, the phospholipids which form, all cell membranes. Demonstrating the link between phosphorus, and life elemental. Phosphorus was first isolated from human urine and bone, ash was an important early phosphate source. Phosphate minerals. Are fossils.[] Low clarification needed phosphate levels are an important limit to growth in some aquatic systems. In a, commercial sense. The vast majority of phosphorus compounds are consumed as fertilisers. Phosphate is needed to replace the phosphorus that. Plants remove from the soil and its, annual demand is rising nearly twice as fast as the growth of the human population.[] Other 6 applications include the role of organophosphorus compounds, in detergents pesticides and nerve, agents. [], 7 Of All, the pnictogens phosphorus is the most abundant in the Earth ', s crust composing 9.9 × 10 − 2% of said crust 8. [].
