What is Phosphorus?

 

       Phosphorus is a nonmetal element, with a symbol P and atomic number 15.

 

It is a solid at room temperature,  of: white

Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. For example, Phosphorus has an atomic number of 15. Meaning, it is the only element that has 15 protons and an atomic number of 15.

What is atomic mass?

http://www.windows2universe.org/physical_science/physics/atom_particle/atomic_mass.html

Atomic mass is the measurement of the mass of an atom. About 99% of an atom's mass comes from its nucleus. The atom's nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons. When you add up the number of protons and neutrons of an atom, you get the atomic mass. Phosphorus has an atomic mass of 30.973762, so approximately 31.   (EXPLAIN MORE)

 

 

What contains Phosphorus?

Humans: Next to calcium, phosphorus is the most abundant mineral in the body. These 2 important nutrients work closely together to build strong bones and teeth. About 85% of phosphorus in the body can be found in bones and teeth, but it is also present in cells and tissues throughout the body. Phosphorus helps filter out waste in the kidneys and plays an essential role in how the body stores and uses energy. Phosphorus is needed for the growth, maintenance, and repair of all tissues and cells, and for the production of the genetic building blocks, DNA and RNA. Phosphorus is also needed to help balance and use other vitamins and minerals, including vitamin D, iodine, magnesium, and zinc.(excerpt)Most people get plenty of phosphorus in their diets. The mineral is found in milk, grains, and protein rich foods
