  4. Arsenic Bohr Model • # of Protons: 33 • # of Electrons: 33 • # of Neutrons: 42 • Number of Energy Levels: 4 • Valence Electrons: 5

  5. Physical Properties of Arsenic • Melting Point: 1090 [or 817 °C (1503 °F)] (under pressure) K • Boiling Point: 887 [or 614 °C (1137 °F)] (sublimes) K • Liquid Range: (no liquid phase at normal pressure) • Color: Metallic Gray • Texture: Rough

  6. Arsenic is a Metalloid • Arsenic has some properties of metals and non-metals. • Arsenic is a grey, metallic looking solid. • It is about one-third lighter than iron, brittle, and moderately hard. • It is stable in dry air but develops a golden bronze patina in moist air, which blackens on further exposure.

  7. Uses for Arsenic • Arsenic is used in ammunition manufacturing because it helps to create harder and rounder bullets. • Arsenic is used in small quantities in semi-conductor manufacturing. • It is used as a preservative in tanning and taxidermy, as well as on the exterior of wood such as deck and playground materials. • When present in high concentrations, arsenic can kill you instantly. • When arsenic is present in very small amounts (soils or water supply), it can kill and poison you over many years.
