  2. White phosphorus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_phosphorus

    White phosphorus, yellow phosphorus, or simply tetraphosphorus (P 4) is an allotrope of phosphorus.It is a translucent waxy solid that quickly yellows in light (due to its photochemical conversion into red phosphorus), [2] and impure white phosphorus is for this reason called yellow phosphorus.

    White phosphorus (left), red phosphorus (center left and center right), and violet phosphorus (right) White phosphorus and resulting allotropes Elemental phosphorus can exist in several allotropes, the most common of which are white and red solids.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_space_groups

    In Hermann–Mauguin notation, space groups are named by a symbol combining the point group identifier with the uppercase letters describing the lattice type.Translations within the lattice in the form of screw axes and glide planes are also noted, giving a complete crystallographic space group.

  6. Phosphor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphor

    White (in black-and-white): The mix of zinc cadmium sulfide and zinc sulfide silver, the ZnS:Ag + (Zn,Cd)S:Ag is the white P4 phosphor used in black and white television CRTs. Mixes of yellow and blue phosphors are usual. Mixes of red, green and blue, or a single white phosphor, can also be encountered.

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

  8. Diphosphorus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diphosphorus

    Diphosphorus is an inorganic chemical with the chemical formula P 2.Unlike nitrogen, its lighter pnictogen neighbor which forms a stable N 2 molecule with a nitrogen to nitrogen triple bond, phosphorus prefers a tetrahedral form P 4 because P-P pi-bonds are high in energy.

  9. Phosphorus pentoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus_pentoxide

    Phosphorus pentoxide crystallizes in at least four forms or polymorphs.The most familiar one, a metastable form [1] (shown in the figure), comprises molecules of P 4 O 10.Weak van der Waals forces hold these molecules together in a hexagonal lattice (However, in spite of the high symmetry of the molecules, the crystal packing is not a close packing [2]).
