Answer:
Due to its poor conductivity, phosphorous is not used in making wires.
Explanation:
Phosphorous is a non-metal and non-metals are known for their bad conductivity of electricity. They are not considered as good conductors and are thus not used as a material in making electrical wires.
Only a few metals are used as wire making materials. Though all metals have great electricity conductance but only a few like copper, nickel, etc. are used.
