2. (Chem.) A poisonous nonmetallic element of the nitrogen
group, obtained as a white, or yellowish, translucent waxy
substance, having a characteristic disagreeable smell;
this waxy allotropic form is also called {yellow
phosphorus}, to distinguish it from another allotropic
form, red phosphorus. It is very active chemically, must
be preserved under water, and unites with oxygen even at
ordinary temperatures, giving a faint glow, -- whence its
name. It always occurs combined, usually in phosphates, as
in the mineral apatite, in bones, etc. It is used in the
composition on the tips of friction matches, and for many
other purposes. It is an essential component of the
genetic material of all living organisms. The molecule
contains four atoms. Symbol P. Atomic weight 31.0.

because this property was discovered by a resident of
Bologna. The term is sometimes applied to other compounds
having similar properties.
Metallic phosphorus (Chem.), an allotropic modification of
phosphorus, obtained as a gray metallic crystalline
substance, having very inert chemical properties. It is
obtained by heating ordinary phosphorus in a closed vessel

in phosphorus, giving rise to necrosis of the jawbone, and
other symptoms.
Red phosphorus, or Amorphous phosphorus (Chem.), an
allotropic modification of phosphorus, obtained as a dark
red powder by heating ordinary phosphorus in closed

is only moderately active chemically. It is valuable as a
chemical reagent, and is used in the composition of the
friction surface on which safety matches are ignited.
Solar phosphori (Chem.), phosphorescent substances which
shine in the dark after exposure to the sunlight or other
intense light.

[Thermo- + -meter: cf. F. thermom[`e]tre. See Thermal.]
(Physics)
An instrument for measuring temperature, founded on the
principle that changes of temperature in bodies are
accompanied by proportional changes in their volumes or
dimensions.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The thermometer usually consists of a glass tube of
capillary bore, terminating in a bulb, and containing
mercury or alcohol, which expanding or contracting
according to the temperature to which it is exposed,
indicates the degree of heat or cold by the amount of
space occupied, as shown by the position of the top of
the liquid column on a graduated scale. See
Centigrade, Fahrenheit, and R['e]aumur.
[1913 Webster] To reduce degrees Fahrenheit to degrees
Centigrade, subtract 32[deg] and multiply by 5/9; to
reduce degrees Centigrade to degrees Fahrenheit,
multiply by 9/5 and add 32[deg].
[1913 Webster]
Air thermometer, Balance thermometer, etc. See under
Air, Balance, etc.
Metallic thermometer, a form of thermometer indicating
changes of temperature by the expansion or contraction of
rods or strips of metal.
Register thermometer, or Self-registering thermometer, a
thermometer that registers the maximum and minimum of
temperature occurring in the interval of time between two
consecutive settings of the instrument. A common form
contains a bit of steel wire to be pushed before the
column and left at the point of maximum temperature, or a
slide of enamel, which is drawn back by the liquid, and
left within it at the point of minimum temperature.
