explain allotropic forms of phosphorons;
Answers
Answer:
Phosphorus exists in several forms (allotropes) that exhibit strikingly different properties. The two most common allotropes are white phosphorus and red phosphorus. Another form, scarlet phosphorus, is obtained by allowing a solution of white phosphorus in carbon disulfide to evaporate in sunlight.

The main allotropes of phosphorus include the white phosphorus, red phosphorus and black phosphorus. In addition to these, there also exists a violet phosphorus.
it has:
10 allotropic forms
Allotropes of Phosphorus. Phosphorus is a nonmetal, solid at room temperature, and a poor conductor of heat and electricity. Phosphorus occurs in at least 10 allotropic forms, the most common (and reactive) of which is so-called white (or yellow) phosphorus which looks like a waxy solid or plastic
