And you can see that the phosphorus has oxidized in the air and it’s taken some of the paperwith it to generate a nice ‘P’ for phosphorus.So this is a sample of my favourite element, this is phosphorus. Phosphorus is a very,very reactive element, especially this type of phosphorus which is white phosphorus. Phosphorusitself, elemental phosphorus, exists as a number of different allotropes, so a bit likecarbon with diamond and graphite, and here we have one of these allotropes; it’s whitephosphorus. It exists as discrete molecules of four phosphorus atoms connected like apyramid, and those four phosphorus atoms are really strained, really reactive and theywant to really react with oxygen as quick as they can.This is the sort that is used in phosphorus bombs. It ...
