Answer 2

Answer:

Red phosphorus is odourless and has a deep red colour. It is not poisonous to humans, in contrast to the white phosphorus allotrope. Upon heating to temperatures above 300oC, red phosphorus undergoes crystallization. It can also assume a cubic structure in its crystal lattice.

White phosphorus is a translucent waxy solid that quickly becomes yellow when exposed to light. For this reason it is also called yellow phosphorus. It glows greenish in the dark (when exposed to oxygen) and is highly flammable and pyrophoric (self-igniting) upon contact with air.
