[[File:PhosphorusSymbol1.png|right|300px|thumb|The [[Chemical Symbol|chemical symbol]] for [[Phosphorus]].]]
[[Phosphorus]] is a [[non-metal]] [[element]], on the [[Periodic Table]], with an [[Atomic Number|atomic number]] of 15.
===About Phosphorus===
: [[Phosphorus]] has the [[Chemical Symbol|chemical symbol]] [[Phosphorus|P]].
====Molecular Structure====
: The [[Chemical Formula|chemical formula]] for a [[Phosphorus]] [[molecule]] is [[Phosphorus|P<sub>4</sub>]].
====Atomic Structure====
: [[Phosphorus]] has 15 [[proton]]s and 16 [[neutron]]s in its [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]] giving it an [[Atomic Number|atomic number]] of 15 and a [[Relative Atomic Mass|atomic mass]] of 31.
: [[Phosphorus]] is in [[Period]] 3 of the [[Periodic Table]] because it has 3 [[Electron Orbital|electron shells]].
====Properties====
: [[Phosphorus]] is a [[solid]] at [[STP|room temperature]].
: [[Phosphorus]] [[Chemical Reaction|reacts]] rapidly in the presence of [[Oxygen]] and it used in matches.

===About Phosphorus===
: [[Phosphorus]] has the [[Chemical Symbol|chemical symbol]] [[Phosphorus|P]].
====Molecular Structure====
: The [[Chemical Formula|chemical formula]] for a [[Phosphorus]] [[molecule]] is [[Phosphorus|P<sub>4</sub>]].
: [[Phosphorus]] forms a [[Covalent Bond|covalent bond]] with 3 other [[Phosphorus]] [[atom]]s to produce a [[Simple Covalent Molecule|simple covalent molecule]].
====Atomic Structure====
: The most common [[Stable Isotope|stable isotope]] of [[Phosphorus]] has 16 [[neutron]]s in its [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]] giving it an [[Relative Atomic Mass|atomic mass]] of 31.
: [[Phosphorus]] is in [[Period]] 3 of the [[Periodic Table]] because it has 3 [[Electron Orbital|electron shells]].
: [[Phosphorus]] has 5 [[electron]]s in its [[Outer Shell|outer shell]] and needs 3 more [[electron]]s to get a full [[Outer Shell|outer shell]] so it can form 3 [[bond]]s with other [[atom]]s.
====Properties====
: [[Phosphorus]] is [[solid]] at [[STP|standard temperature and pressure]].
: [[Phosphorus]] is highly [[Reactivity|reactive]] in the presence of [[Oxygen]].
