Question

White phosphorus is more reactive than the red phosphorus

Answer 1

White phosphorus is made up of discrete P4 tetrahedra which are subjected to very high angular strain as the angles is 60 degrees.Red phosphorus is a polymer of P4 tetrahedra, which has much less angular strain.This high angular strain makes white phosphorus unstable and highly reactive.

Answer 2

yes it white phosphorus is more reactive than the red because White phosphorus is made up of discrete P4 tetrahedra which are subjected to very high angular strain as the angles is 60 degrees.Red phosphorus is a polymer of P4 tetrahedra, which has much less angular strain.This high angular strain makes white phosphorus unstable and highly reactive.
