Arsenic Ion
- Molecular classification
- Inorganic Ion
01
Overview
The arsenic ion refers to the ionic forms of the element arsenic (As), most commonly encountered as arsenic(3+) (As³⁺). Inorganic forms of the arsenic ion are highly toxic due to their ability to disrupt cellular respiration by inhibiting essential enzymes. Chronic exposure can lead to various health issues including cancer. While historically used as poisons and insecticides, some organoarsenic compounds have medicinal applications.
