Arsenic Element Cube

Arsenic's atomic number is 33 and its symbol is As. Arsenic is usually found in combination with sulfur, as a pure crystal, or in volcanic ash. This metalloid has a dangerous-sounding name that is well deserved because of its toxicity. This high level of toxicity is why arsenic was commonly used in crop pesticides and wood preservatives to keep insects, bacteria, and fungi at bay. However, developed countries have phased out arsenic pesticides because of their harmful effects on food and the people that eat them. Another common use for arsenic is as an alloy with lead to create semiconductors in electronics. Although arsenic is toxic to many organisms, it is also an essential dietary element in rats, hamsters, goats, and chickens. Pure arsenic will slowly oxidize when exposed to the atmosphere. The arsenic in these cubes is pure arsenic encapsulated in a glass ampule to prevent oxidation. The glass ampule containing the sample is suspended in crystal clear Lucite acrylic.

Safety

We get asked about the radioactivity and overall safety of the periodic tables/cubes from time to time. These are legitimate concerns and we wanted to address those concerns here. Although there are several elements in the cubes that are dangerous or toxic, the acrylic and glass ampules make the products safe to handle and store.

The average American is exposed to 0.034 mrem/hr from background radiation (300 mrem/year). In other words, a person will get three times the radiation from natural background radiation which includes the sun, food, radon, and the environment, than they will from holding a radioactive element in one of our Lucite Acrylic displays.

Care Instructions

Wash with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water. Use a clean, soft cloth, or sponge. Rinse and blot dry with a damp cloth or chamois.

*Never use abrasive cleaners, household cleaners, window-cleaning fluids, scouring compounds, gritty cloths, or strong solvents such as alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, etc.*

To maintain the brilliant luster of acrylic, wax and occasionally with a quality grade of automobile paste wax (NOT A CLEANER WAX COMBINATION.) Apply a thin coat with a clean, cotton flannel cloth. Then wipe with a clean damp cloth. NEVER USE HOUSEHOLD SPRAY WAXES.

Proudly made in the U.S.A.

Not too bad

Really cool. However, it shows a decent amount of Arsenic in the tube, but when my cube got here it showed maybe half of the amount and the front of the cube had scratches on it also. But other than that, good product. Feels good quality.

Great quality

My wife is a science teacher and I wanted a way for her to be able to present her favorite element safely. It came quickly, well-packaged, and without defect. Looking forward to giving it to her for our anniversary next month - in the cube!
