Question

Phosphorus is stored in water ? why ? please correct me .

Answer 1

Because phosphorus is insoluble in water. phosphorus react vigorously with oxygen present in air.so it is kept in water.

Answer 2

Hey Buddy here is your answer,

Description

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. It is soluble in Carbon disulphide. Its molecular formula is P4.

Why it is stored under water ?

Because it is highly reactive, and spontaneously combusts when exposed to the air.

Chemiluminescence is the production of light from a chemical reaction. Two chemicals react to form an excited (high-energy) intermediate, which breaks down releasing some of its energy as photons of light to reach its ground state.
