Black phosphorus is a solid with metallic luster and has a corrugated layered structure. The bonding between layers is smaller than the bonding within the layer. It is weakly combined, similar to graphite, and has electrical conductivity. It is the least reactive among the allotropes of phosphorus. It will not ignite in the air
