Phosphorus is a nonmetal with an atomic number of 15. It was discovered in 1669 by Hennig Brand in his attempt to create the Philosopher's Stone. Phosphorus exists naturally as a solid and is found in DNA, RNA, and fertilizer. It comes in red, white, black, and violet forms and has uses in match heads, explosives, and as an essential element in living organisms and fertilizer.

General info li ck m e C Atomic number: 15 Classi鍖cation: Nonmetal Symbol: P Red phosphorus powder. Amount of protons/neutrons/electrons: 15/16/15 respectively Melting and boiling points: 44.2 and 280.5 degrees Celsius Colored in red, white, black and a rare violet. Natural phase of matter: solid Atomic mass: 30.973...
History of phosphorus Name origin: In Greek, "ph担s" is light and "phoros" is bearer. Therefore, phosphorous is the "light bearer. Discovered by Hennig Brand in 1669 in attempt to create the Philosopher's Stone. The stone is said to turn all solids into gold (which is absolutely unreal.) Brand wanted to keep the element a secret, until he told a few other scientists. Even Robert Boyle got his hands on the element. It wasn't until the late 18th century that it was discovered for use in fertilizer. Phosphorus is known to be found in DNA and RNA ever since the genetic code's existence. Depiction of r e!

Phosphorus' crystal structure Red phosphorus Black phosphorus
Did you know...? When Hennig Brand discovered phosphorus, he made it by boiling remains of boiled urine. Hamburg, the town this element was discovered in, was bombed with caustic white phosphorus explosives. The city erupted in 鍖ames. Background: Hamburg in the 19th century.
The Element Boxes It became apparent that elements became the subject of interest in NPMM. Therefore, each eighth grade student decided to create an element box, containing basic information about each element. Each one comes with a Keynote presentation and video (hidden in a QR code) of each element. Mine is about phosphorus, an element you have learned has an abundance of uses, an odd history and one heck of an explosion. Each box also has artifacts, which symbolize what the element is used for.
