Question #92f86

Answer 1

`beta` black phosphorous is more stable.

Explanation:

`beta` black phosphorus has a layered structure in which each phosphorus atom is covalently bonded to three neighbouring P atoms.

The atoms within the layer are more strongly bonded to atoms in adjacent layers. This gives `beta` black phosphorus graphite like structure.

`alpha` black phosphorus are monoclinic or rhombohedral crystals and are non conductors of electricity unlike `beta` Phosphorus.
