  1. Thechemistry of phosphorus pt.1 By Laura Roa

  2. Chemicalproperties • Different from Nitrogen: • Nitrogen’s pi bonds • Nitrogen’s electronegativity • Size of Phosphorus atom • D orbitals on Phosphorus

  3. Elemental form differences • Several solid forms of phosphorus. • White phosphorus • Black phosphorus • Red phosphorus • Forms phosphides

  4. Phosphine • Na3P + 3 H2O = PH3 + 3 NaOH (formation) • Analogous to Ammonia • Small affinity for protons • Pyramidal molecular structure: • Exception to VSEPR

  5. Phosphorus oxides and oxyacids • Phosphorus reacts with oxygen to form oxides: • Tetraphosphorusdecoxide • Affinity • Dehydrating • Dissolvation • Phosphate minerals
