Arsenic is a solid at room temperature but it sublimates (turns straight from a solid to a gas) so there is no way of getting liquid arsenic
Arsenic does not react with oxygen in its elemental form. However, when heated, arsenic can react with oxygen in the air to form arsenic trioxide (As₂O₃), a white, odorless powder.
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.
Yes, arsenic can react with acids to form various arsenic compounds, depending on the specific acid and conditions of the reaction. Arsenic is known to form arsenic acid (H3AsO4) with strong acids like sulfuric acid, or arsenic trioxide (As2O3) with weaker acids.
Arsenic is not highly reactive, because it is unaffected by air, water, and most acids and alkalis.
Arsenic is a solid metalloid that is not soluble in water. It can react with certain acids or salts to form soluble compounds, but arsenic itself does not dissolve like a typical substance would in water.
Arsenic is a solid at room temperature and pressure. It sublimes directly from a solid to a gas without passing through a liquid phase.

Arsenic atoms are neutral and they form ions with valency of three.
No, arsenic is not a diatomic molecule; it typically exists as a solid in its elemental form. Arsenic is a metalloid and can form various compounds, but in its pure state, it consists of individual arsenic atoms rather than pairs. Diatomic molecules are those made up of two atoms, like O₂ or N₂, which is not the case for arsenic.
Yes, it contains mercury, and arsenic. Don't drink it.
It reacts with Arsenic to form Gallium Arsenide which is a semiconductor
Arsenic is considered a homogeneous substance when it exists in its pure elemental form, as it has a uniform composition throughout. However, in nature, arsenic can be found in various compounds and mixtures, which may be heterogeneous depending on their composition and distribution. Therefore, the classification can depend on the specific form and context of arsenic being referred to.
3 The main species of arsenic found in the environment are the arsenic (III) and arsenic (V).
Potassium iodide reduced any arsenic(V) to arsenic(III) The zinc reacts with the arsenic(III) to form arsin, this evolves as a gas and stains the mercuric bromide paper
Arsenic is not highly reactive, because it is unaffected by air, water, and most acids and alkalis.
