White phosphorus is a translucent white solid , is poisonous and insoluble in water. It glows in the dark (Chemiluminiscence). It is less stable and hence , more reactive.So, It reacts immediately as it comes in contact with the atmospheric air.
Most injuries associated with white phosphorus are the result of accidents due to either human or mechanical error. Care in handling and use of munitions should serve as the primary prevention of injuries and burns associated with white phosphorus.
This is the reason for storing White phosphorus in other solvents.
Hope this feels helpful. :)
