What does ARSENO mean in Scrabble?
adjective
chemistry
Containing arsenic, or denoting a compound formed by replacing hydrogen with a bivalent arsenic-based group used in naming certain arsenic compounds.
Chemists used arseno mainly in the older naming system for organic compounds built around a pair of linked arsenic atoms, much as azo names a similar pair of linked nitrogen atoms. The term appears in older chemical literature describing compounds such as early antisyphilitic drugs, where an arseno bridge held two aromatic rings together. Modern nomenclature has largely replaced such names with systematic ones, so arseno now survives mostly in historical texts rather than in everyday chemistry writing.
