Arsenic is a chemical element with atomic number 33 which means there are 33 protons in its nucleus. Total number of protons in the nucleus is called the atomic number of the atom and is given the symbol Z. The total electrical charge of the nucleus is therefore +Ze, where e (elementary charge) equals to 1,602 x 10-19 coulombs. Our arsenic page has over 190 facts that span 107 different quantities.
