Elastic Modulus of Phosphorus (P) + Sources, Name Origin ... 2022

One important property is the elastic modulus which tell us something about a material's resistance (even for Phosphorus). Ok, so what is the elastic modulus of an atom of P?

Note: Learn more about the elastic modulus here.

In the case of Phosphorus, the elastic modulus is 5 10³ MPa. Ok now let's dive into the facts about Phosphorus that people don't know...

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Elastic Modulus of Phosphorus (P) + Sources, Name Origin ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
