No, it's significantly less toxic than botulism.

Can you get botulism more than once?
yes
Antimony is more or less metallic than arsenic?
Antimony is more metallic than Arsenic. As we already know, metallic nature increases down a group. As Antimony lies just below Arsenic in Group 15, it is said to have more metallic character.
Is fluorine more reactive than arsenic?
Yes

What element can be used as a poison?
I suspect you're looking for arsenic as your answer, as this element is effectively toxic to mammals, including mice, rats, etc. However, it'd be the wrong answer for a few reasons. The first reason is that arsenic is no longer used as a pesticide pretty much anywhere in the world, due to its toxicity to humans, and its tendency to remain in the environment. The other reason is that, in sufficient dosage, a huge number of components of the periodic table -- elements -- are toxic to humans, and some are hyper-toxic. Polonium, for instance, (Po 210) has an LD50 (Lethal dose in 50% of the test population) of perhaps 0.1-0.3 GBq, making it far more toxic than arsenic.
what are toxic metals?
There are several metals that are toxic...but let's make your teacher's life exciting and put down thallium and uranium. You could also put down lead and Mercury. Arsenic is a metalloid rather than a metal.
What is the common name for arsenic?
The only stable, and thus by far the most common, isotope of arsenic is arsenic-75, although isotopes have existed from arsenic-60 through arsenic-92. The isotopes with the longest half-lives are arsenic-73, arsenic-74, and arsenic-76.
Is Sn more metallic than As?
Yes - tin is a metal - Arsenic is metaloid
What is the Isotope in arsenic?
There are more than two isotopes....
What two metals are toxic?
There are several metals that are toxic...but let's make your teacher's life exciting and put down thallium and uranium. You could also put down lead and mercury. Arsenic is a metalloid rather than a metal.
Is arsenic a metal non-metal or semi-metal?
Arsenic is usually classified as a metalloid. The chemistry of arsenic is predominately nonmetallic but it shows less anionic behavior than ordinary nonmetals. Liquid arsenic is a semiconductor. It can form many metal alloys but most of them are brittle.
Is arsenic more metal then nonmetal?
Arsenic is a metalloid, or "semi-metal". The whole reason for the special category "metalloids" is that some compounds act like metals in some ways and like non-metals in others. Asking whether they're more like metals or nonmetals depends partly on what properties in particular you're concerned with. In the case of arsenic, there are different allotropes as well. Grey arsenic, the more stable and more common form, is more metallic in character than yellow arsenic.
