It is highly reactive with the air and the atmosphere and it itself produces many reactions to it.
Phosphorus is a really soft, waxy and a highly reactive compound. It reacts with the moist air present in the atmosphere and gives out light as a secondary product. It ignites spontaneously at a temperature of about 35°C or 35 degree Celsius and that is the reason it is to reduce in a kerosene to prevent the reactions
