Elemental Form| Arsenic, a steel-gray, semimetallic solid, is very brittle, crystalline and poisonous. Elemental arsenic occurs in two solid modifications: the ordinary, stable, metallic-gray form and the yellow form. It oxidizes in air and, when heated, is rapidly oxidized to arsenous oxide (AS2O3) with a garlic odor. Arsenic is used as a doping agent in semiconductor materials. | ||||
