Why white phosphorus is chemiluminescence
  • 2 answers
While the term “phosphorescence” is derived from the ability of white phosphorus to glow faintly upon exposure to oxygen, the current chemical understanding is that this phenomenon is actually chemiluminescence, a mechanism of light emission distinct from phosphorescence.

{chemiluminescence means glow in dark} white phosphorus emits faint a glow when exposed to oxygen because of a chemical reaction taking place on its surface only if the darkened room ots in has oxygen in it. Red phosphorus does not respond to absorbing radiation and thats why it doesn't glow in dark.
