Metabolite Identification
Common NameArsenic
DescriptionArsenic, also known as arsen or as(3+), belongs to the class of inorganic compounds known as homogeneous metalloid compounds. These are inorganic compounds containing only metal atoms,with the largest atom being a metalloid atom. Arsenic exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and possibly neutral molecule. Arsenic is formally rated as a carcinogen (by IARC 1) and is also a potentially toxic compound.
