Foszforai

Foszforai is a Hungarian term referring to phosphides, which are chemical compounds containing phosphorus and at least one other element. These compounds are typically formed when phosphorus reacts with a metal or metalloid. The properties of phosphides vary widely depending on the specific elements involved and their stoichiometry. Some phosphides are highly reactive, while others are relatively stable. Many metal phosphides are insoluble in water. Examples include calcium phosphide, aluminum phosphide, and iron phosphide. These compounds can be found in various applications, from pyrotechnics and insecticides to semiconductors and catalysts. The industrial production of phosphides often involves the direct reaction of the constituent elements at high temperatures. The reactivity of some phosphides, such as those that react with water to produce phosphine gas (PH3), necessitates careful handling and storage. Foszforai are an important class of inorganic compounds with diverse chemical behaviors and practical uses.
