How can the arrangement of atoms help explain how the white phosphorous and red phosphorous can both be pure phosphorous substances? Cite your evidence

white phosphorus is P4 in a tetrahedral shape and there are some really cool videos of it reacting in air and some not very cool ones where it was used militarily it is not stable, it needs to be stored underwater

red phosphorus is a larger more complicated network solid with many more phosphorus and is very stable

they are allotropes of phosphorus

Explanation:

the mantle

explanation:

earth is divided into three layers: the crust or the outermost layer on which we live; the underlying, middle layer - the mantle - and the core (the innermost layer of earth).

atomic mass = 39

number of neutrons = 20

number of protons= 19

electronic configuration = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

the number of electron in first shell = 2

number of electrons in n=3 shell = 8
