Yr 11 s testing red Phosphorous

Post by Ocean Breeze »

Yr 11 Chemists are testing properties of (red) phosphorous.
How do you guys do it? Suggesting hitting the elements with hammer, bending electrical conductivity etc. How do we treat /prepare the phosphorous? Or do the just view and poke :?:

We are about to do this one too. In the book the teacher uses, next to the iodine and phosphorous it says "DO NOT TEST".
