Pharaoh's Serpent edit

Perhaps a brief explanation of the phenomenon (why / how it occurs, as opposed to other minerals where it does not) or a link to a page describing it would b76.65.21.198 (talk) 04:41, 4 June 2010 (UTC)e appropriate?Reply

I found two references with the information. We should certainly include the chemical reactions and discussion. -- ke4roh (talk) 17:03, 11 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Toxicity edit

Thiocyanate ions are of rather low toxicity, so the high toxicity of mercury(II)-thiocyanate just depends on its mercury content. --FK1954 (talk) 19:08, 1 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

The structure of the thiocyanate ion's actually a resonant structure. It's actually -S-C=-N [arrow] S=C=N- The sulphur can double bond to the carbon and the nitrogen can lose one of its bonds to go from triple to double bond and adopt a negative charge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamez Z23 (talkcontribs) 14:11, 14 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
