The most common forms are white phosphorus, made up of phosphorus atoms arranged like a tetrahedron (a four-sided pyramid), and red phosphorus, a solid but non-crystalline form of the element. Less common is black phosphorus, which is made of atoms arranged in a ring structure and looks a bit like the graphite at the point of a pencil.
(February 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) Loan origination is the process by which a borrower applies for a new loan, and a lender processes that application. Origination generally includes all the steps from taking a loan application up to disbursal of funds (or declining the application). Loan servicing covers everything after disbursing the funds until the loan is fully paid off.
The origination fee for a mortgage is a fee charged to the borrower by the lender for processing the loan. It is usually a flat percentage based upon the loan amount, and is often either .5 or 1 percent.
