That same page makes it perfectly clear that white phosphorus is not considered a chemical weapon.

My degree is in chemistry. Phosphorus is indeed a chemical, so is lead.

You are either deluded, which is unlikely, or deliberately lying in the hope of winning an argument. The latter is more likely to be the case: therefore, I have contempt for you. We won't interact again.

It is a chemical and it is used as a weapon, but according to you it is not a chemical weapon. If lead was being somehow weaponized and dropped on human beings by the military with deadly effects it too would classify as a chemical weapon. I have contempt for abject stupidity, and in an ideal world would never have to interact with anyone like you, but the world is far from ideal.

Lead is also a chemical and is used as a weapon, but it doesn't make bullets chemical weapons.
