The name stibarsen is derived from Latin stibium (antimony) and arsenic, whereas allemontite refers to the locality Allemont in France where the mineral was discovered. [ 3 ] [ 5 ] It is found in veins at Allemont, Isère, France; Valtellina , Italy; and the Comstock Lode , United States; and in a lithium pegmatites at Varuträsk, Sweden.
In its standard state arsine is a colorless, denser-than-air gas that is slightly soluble in water (2% at 20 °C) [1] and in many organic solvents as well. [citation needed] Arsine itself is odorless, [5] but it oxidizes in air and this creates a slight garlic or fish-like scent when the compound is present above 0.5 ppm. [6]
Arsenic is added in small quantities to alpha-brass to make it dezincification-resistant. This grade of brass is used in plumbing fittings and other wet environments. [110] Arsenic is also used for taxonomic sample preservation. It was also used in embalming fluids historically. [111] Arsenic was used in the taxidermy process up until the 1980s ...
The arsenic minerals or arsenic group are a group of trigonal symmetry minerals composed of arsenic-like elements, and one alloy. [ 1 ] The elements are arsenic , antimony and bismuth . [ 2 ]
Arsenicin A is a naturally occurring arsenic heterocycle with the molecular formula C 3 H 6 As 4 O 3. ... It is the first polyarsenic compound ever found in nature. [1]
Gray, or metallic arsenic, pictured under an argon atmosphere. Gray arsenic, also called grey arsenic or metallic arsenic, is the most stable allotrope of the element at room temperature, and as such is its most common form. [1] This soft, brittle allotrope of arsenic has a steel gray, metallic color, and is a good conductor. [2]
A new study finds that honeybees forging across the U.S. ingest local pollutants, including arsenic and lead, which are detected in their honey. More than 260 samples were taken between 2020 and ...
Arsenopyrite (IMA symbol: Apy [4]) is an iron arsenic sulfide (FeAsS). It is a hard (Mohs 5.5–6) [5] metallic, opaque, steel grey to silver white mineral with a relatively high specific gravity of 6.1. [1] When dissolved in nitric acid, it releases elemental sulfur. When arsenopyrite is heated, it produces sulfur and arsenic vapor.
