The element Arsenic would be expected to form 3 covalent bonds in order to obey the octet rule. As is a nonmetal in group 5A, and therefore has 5 valence electrons. In order to obey the octet rule, it needs to gain 3electrons. It can do this by forming 3 single covalent bonds.
Arsenic readily forms strong covalent bonds to most non-metals.
Even though it looks metallic the ionization energy and the electronegativity are very similar to phosphorus.
