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:

water at room temperature is flowing through a pipe with pressure taps located 10 ft apart along one section of the pipe, which are connected to a mercury (s=13.6) manometer.
