  2. Phosphorus • Phosphorus was discovered by Hennig Brand • Phosphorus was discovered 1669 in Germany. • Origin of the word Phosphorus: Greek word "phosphoros" meaning "bringer of light“

  3. Atomic Aspects Of Phosphorus • Atomic Symbol For Phosphorus is P • Atomic Name For P is Phosphorus • Atomic Number For Phosphorus is 15 • Atomic Mass For Phosphorus is 30.97376 amu • Numbers Of Protons, is 15 Neutrons, is 16 and Electrons in the Neutral Atom is also 15.

  4. Physical Aspects Of Phosphorus • Phosphorus is classified as nonmetal • Phosphorus is a solid at room temperature. • Phosphorus is in the Pnictogen group • Pnictogen are members of the nitrogen family • Phosphorus is in the period 3

  5. Chemical Aspects Of Phosphorus • Phosphorus has 3 isotopes • P-31 Stable P-3214 28 days P-3324 3 days • Electric Configuration For Phosphorus • 1s2 2s2   2p6 3s23p3 • Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion. • Phosphorus first ionization energy 1011.8 (eV) • P 3- is the most common ion because it has 5 valance elections so its going to form ions in which 3 electrons are taken to fill the valance shell to 8 • Electron negativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. • 2.19 is the electron negativity of Phosphorus

  6. Interesting Facts About Phosphorus • Hennig Brand discovered phosphorus in 1669, in Hamburg, Germany, preparing it from urine. (Urine naturally contains considerable quantities of dissolved phosphates.) • White phosphorus is highly toxic. Skin contact can result in severe burns. Red phosphorus (provided it is not contaminated with white phosphorus) is considered non-toxic. • Phosphorus is a vital plant nutrient
