A new study to mention?[edit]

A new study in India on Arsenic contamination says no arsenic level considered ‘safe’ by combining for the first time brain imaging scans, intellectual tasks, and urine arsenic analysis in people below 25 years from five Indian sites.

What does glassy mean?[edit]

In the physical characteristics section black arsenic is described as “glassy”, what does that mean?

”It is glassy and brittle. Black arsenic is also a poor electrical conductor.” Ombabsail (talk) 17:24, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Like a glass. Polyamorph (talk) 06:46, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
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]
