Arsenic Element in Periodic Table | Atomic Number Atomic Mass

Arsenic Element:

Arsenic is a chemical element and it is a member of group 15 and period 4 in the periodic table. Atomic number of Arsenic is 33 and it is indicated by the symbol is As. It belongs to the nitrogen family. Phosphorous, Antimony, Bismuth and Moscovium are the other elements in the nitrogen family. 'As' occurs rarely as a pure element. It is found as a compound. The most common ores of  'As'  are arsenopyrite (FeAsS), realgar (As ₄ S ₄₎ and orpiment (As ₂ S ₃₎. These compounds are obtained as a by-product of the mining and purification of silver metal.

Uses Of Arsenic Element:

• 'As' is a poison. It is used as rat poisons and insecticides.
• 'As' used as a doping agent for solid state devices such as transistors.
• It is also used to make special glass and preserve wood.
• Gallium arsenide is used to make Light-emitting diodes.
