Phosphorus, (IPA: /ˈfÉ'sfÉ™rÉ™s/, Greek: phõs meaning "light", and phoros meaning "bearer"), is the chemical element that has the symbol P and atomic number 15.
Phosphorus
A highly reactive, poisonous, nonmetallic element occurring naturally in phosphates, especially apatite, which is found as a white, or yellowish, translucent waxy substance, having a characteristic disagreeable smell and a faint glow.
Copper with phosphorus and arsenic additions that give good strength and resistance to fire cracking. It is used primarily for the manufacture of boiler fireboxes.
Arsenical brass ...
Turquoise rocks are found in arid dry regions where the rocks such as sandstones are heavy with copper deposits and a source of alumina and phosphorus, (volcanic lava). The copper may come from minerals such as malachite, azurite or chrysocolla.
Chemically it consists of Copper, Aluminum, Phosphorus etc. Sometimes Iron comes as an impurity.
Oxides: This group will have one or more oxygen atoms (not grouped with silicon, phosphorus or carbon) in their formulas. Many oxides are important ores of metals or valuable gemstones and tend to be quite hard and rather dense.
Glass is generally a silica compound combines with boric oxide, aluminum oxide or phosphorus pentoxide. By using heat, glass can be formed into many shapes and is used extensively in the manufacture of beads.
glass pearls ...
It is a source of phosphorus for plants and is used in the manufacture of fertilizers. It is a stone that many psychics use for it helps to open the third eye and brings revelations closer. Apatite is used to bring love, harmony and peace.
In 1884 he turned his attention to fluorine chemistry, preparing some organic and phosphorus derivatives of that element.
Fluorescent
A high effiency lamp utilizing an electric discharge through low pressure mercury vapor to produce ultra-violet energy. UV excites the phosphorus lining which transforms into visible light.
The phosphorus component from apatite, and the aluminum component may be derive from the presence of feldspar. Turquoise from Nevada can contain trace amounts of iron, giving it a pale green to yellow-green color.
20%, titanium .90%, phosphorus .35%, magnesium .12%, strontium .06%, Beryllium .04%, copper .03%, lead .03%, zirconium .02%, chromium .02%, and zinc .02%; the remaining 0.16 percent is sulfur, chlorine, and water.
He also makes the statement that, “As long as any chemical element can fit into the atomic structure because its size is right, the composition of garnet is variable.' Phosphorus, vanadium, yttrium, ...
For instance, since it became known as a source of phosphorus for plants, apatite has been widely used in the manufacture of fertilizers. It also is valuable in fission track dating of rocks.
Its name is derived from its ability to "mimic" pyromorphite, a similar but more common mineral in which the arsenic is replaced by phosphorus.
