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

What is atomic number?

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)

http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-phosphorus-fertilizer.htm Fertilizers: Phosphorus is a natural nutrient need for plant growth and health. It plays a role in photosynthesis, cell division and the plant's ability to use sugars and starches. Plant absorb the phosphorus through their roots. Phosphorus is found in fertilizers because it is efficient way of supplying plants with need phosphorus.

Humans:  Phosphorus is the second most abundant mineral in the human body. Calcium, beeing the most abundant mineral in the body, works closely with phophorusi to build strong bones and teeth. About 85% of phosphorus in the body can be found in bones and teeth. 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 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
