A silver-gray and brittle crystalline solid are the stable forms. It gets tarnished rapidly when comes in contact with air and at high temperatures by preparing a white cloud of arsenic trioxide. The metallic form of the element is brittle and it gets tarnished when oxidized to arsenic trioxide. Its non-metallic form is less reactive but easily dissolves when heated with strong oxidizing acids and alkalis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arsenic is a steel-gray, brittle solid with low thermal and electrical conductivity. There are some forms of elemental arsenic are metal-like and is best classified as a non-metal. Some other forms are also there but are not properly characterized. This element sublimes at 613 \u00b0C and it exists as As4 molecules. It is stable in dry air and in moist air it tends to become coated with a black oxide. The sublimed arsenic vapor heated in air to form an arsenic oxide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chemical Properties Of Arsenic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Group<\/td><td>15<\/td><td>Melting point<\/td><td>Sublimes at 616\u00b0C, 1141\u00b0F, 889 K<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Period<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>Boiling point<\/td><td>Sublimes at 616\u00b0C, 1141\u00b0F, 889 K<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Block<\/td><td>p<\/td><td>Density (g cm\u22123)<\/td><td>5.75<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Atomic number<\/td><td>33<\/td><td>Relative atomic mass<\/td><td>74.922<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>State at 20\u00b0C<\/td><td>Solid<\/td><td>Key isotopes<\/td><td><sup>75<\/sup>As<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Electron configuration<\/td><td>[Ar] 3d<sup>10<\/sup>4s<sup>2<\/sup>4p<sup>3<\/sup><\/td><td>CAS number<\/td><td>7440-38-2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>ChemSpider ID<\/td><td>4514330<\/td><td>ChemSpider is a free chemical structure database<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Uses Of Arsenic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>This element is mainly used in compounds and a smaller amount is used in alloys.<\/li><li>It is also used to prepare lead shot in past and the amount used in these applications continues to decrease.<\/li><li>Arsenic can easily get into the environment from such applications.
