Arsenic was a Natural sciences good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

Information Sources: Some of the text in this entry was rewritten from Los Alamos National Laboratory - Arsenic. Additional text was taken directly from the Elements database 20001107 (via dict.org), Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) (via dict.org) and WordNet (r) 1.7 (via dict.org). Data for the table was obtained from the sources listed on the main page and Wikipedia:WikiProject Elements but was reformatted and converted into SI units.
What does glassy mean?
In the physical characteristics section black arsenic is described as “glassy”, what does that mean?
I have found out what it should mean, it means that it is non crystalline, also known as amorphous supposedly.
left is to edit that section in physical characteristics to make it more clear or replace the word glassy with amorphous as a better solution. Ombabsail (talk) 22:23, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
SOLUBILITY! Where is it?
Wow, an entire page on an element with no mention of what solvents this element and it's main compounds are soluble in.
The solubility of arsenic compounds is discussed under "Inorganic compounds" and "Agricultural" uses. Elemental arsenic itself is insoluble but it does not appear in the elemental form often enough for the solubility to be relevant to any major discussion in the article.
