What does ARSINE mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
A colourless, extremely poisonous gas with the formula AsH3, made of arsenic and hydrogen and having a faint garlic-like odour.
Arsine forms when arsenic compounds react with acids or with certain metals, which is why it sometimes appears as an unwanted byproduct in industrial processes such as metal refining or battery charging. It is used deliberately in the electronics industry to introduce arsenic atoms into silicon during the manufacture of semiconductors. Because it is highly toxic even in small concentrations and gives little warning through smell alone, arsine is treated with particular caution in industrial safety procedures.
