What is the difference between silver cyanide and gold cyanide?
The cyanide radical consists of a carbon atom triple bonded to a nitrogen atom, and has a -1 charge. It's CN- as we write it. The only difference between silver and gold cyanide is the silver and the gold. Both precious metals will form a bond with the radical in their +1 valence state, so the observer will see either AgCN or AuCN molecules. The former is, of course, silver cyanide, and the latter is gold cyanide.
Is As4O6 ionic or molecular?
According to the electronegativity difference between arsenic and oxygen, 1.26, it is molecular.
What are some examples of hazardous chemicals?
Examples: sodium cyanide, phosgene, hydrogen fluoride, mercuric chloride, arsenic oxide, etc
What is the reaction between arsenic trioxide and iodine?
The arsenic iii ion is oxidised to arsenic V ion and iodine is reduced to iodide.
Is arsenic pentafluoride polar?
No. The As-F bond dipoles, due to the difference in electronegativity between As and F, cancel each other out because of the symmetry of the molecule which is a trigonal bipyramid
Do apple seeds contain arsenic?
Apple seeds do NOT contain arsenic, they contain cyanide.
What is an example of a poison?
arsenic, cyanide, strychnine, nicotine
Can poisons such as cyanide freeze to a solid state?
Can you freeze arsenic with water
What were the poisons in the wine in arsenic and Old Lace?
For every gallon of elderberry wine they used one teaspoon of arsenic, half a teaspoon of strychnine and a pinch of cyanide.

What is the smell of arsenic?
Arsenic when heated will form Arsenic Trioxide which has an order resembling garlic.

Can shoe licking kill you?
i highly doubt it unless you lick a shoe covered in cyanide or arsenic or some such substance
What is the difference between alkaline zinc plating and cyanide zinc plating?
alkaline zinc plating is less expensive to prepare and maintain , and it do not cause pollution as cyanide zinc plating.
Is there enough arsenic in apple seeds to be harmful?
Actually, there is no arsenic in apple seeds. The poison they contain is cyanide. Unless you eat hundreds upon hundreds of apple seeds nothing bad will happen.
What are some examples of hazardous chemicals?
Examples: sodium cyanide, phosgene, hydrogen fluoride, mercuric chloride, arsenic oxide, etc
Difference between chemical and ozone treatment of cyanide?
Ozone is a chemical, so there is no difference.Ozone oxidizes cyanide to a less biologically toxic state (very rapid reaction), however organisms will (eventually) remove the extra oxygen to "breathe", making cyanide elsewhere.
