Question

Why is red phosphorus red in color?

Answer 1

$\huge\mathscr\red{Heyaa..!}$

Red phosphorus may be formed by heating white phosphorus to 250 °C (482 °F) or by exposing white phosphorus to sunlight. After prolonged heating or storage, the color darkens (see infobox images); the resulting product is more stable and does not spontaneously ignite in air.
