Arsenate properties edit

Arsenate wouldn't have many specific chemical properties, since it is an ion. Compounds, such as lead arsenate, calcium arsenate, would have the properties. But one property about it is its toxicity. --Cheminterest (talk) 21:48, 31 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Proposed improvements edit

I plan to improve the introductory paragraph to decrease ambiguity and provide a more comprehensive summary of the arsenate article.  A major addition to the introduction will be a brief summary of arsenates importance to chemical reactions and this will accompany a brief section outlining the reactivity in further detail.

I propose to include more citations throughout the article and will update existing citations such as

“ Mineralienatlas – Mineralklasse Phosphate, Arsenate, Vanadate. (in German)” to reference newer databases and journals.

Finally I will include an image that supplements the information in the occurrence section.  A likely image will be of an arsenate containing compound/mineral. Mac239 (talk) 04:04, 14 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
