Phosphorus is a chemical element with the symbol P and the atomic number 15. Elemental phosphorus exists in two major forms, white phosphorus and red phosphorus, but because it is highly reactive, phosphorus is never found as a free element on Earth. It has an occurrence in the Earth's crust of about 0.1%, generally occurring as phosphate in minerals. Elemental phosphorus was first isolated as white phosphorus in 1669 by Hennig Brand and marked the first "discovery" of an element not known since Antiquity. The name phosphorus (Ancient Greek: Φωσφόρος, romanized: Phōsphoros, literally "light-bearer") is a reference to the god of the Morning star in Greek mythology, inspired by the faint glow of white phosphorus when exposed to oxygen.
