Grey arsenic is a semimetal, but becomes a semiconductor with a bandgap of 1.2–1.4 eV if amorphized. [24] Grey arsenic is also the most stable form. Yellow arsenic is soft and waxy, and somewhat similar to tetraphosphorus (P 4). [25]
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]
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 ]
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.
It crystallises in a trigonal cell, isomorphic with bismuth and the gray allotrope of arsenic, and is formed when molten antimony is cooled slowly. Amorphous black antimony is formed upon rapid cooling of antimony vapor, and is only stable as a thin film (thickness in nanometres); thicker samples spontaneously transform into the metallic form ...
Arsenic blende or Arsenblende (German: Arsenblende, arsenik-blende) is a trivial name that has partially fallen out of scientific use, used by mineralogists, as well as representatives of mining and craft professions in relation to at least two similar ore minerals — orpiment and realgar, [1]: 135, 239, 438 in composition — arsenic sulfides.
Gray arsenic, polymeric As (metallic, though heavily anisotropic) (similar to aluminum and antimony in chemical properties) Black arsenic – molecular and non-metallic, with the same structure as red phosphorus; Antimony: Blue-white antimony – stable form (metallic), with the same structure as gray arsenic (similar to arsenic in chemical ...
The value for arsenic refers to pressurizing metastable black arsenic; grey arsenic, the standard state, is already a metallic conductor at standard conditions. No value is known or theoretically predicted for radon.
