Question
Chapter 8, Problem 8.151QP
(a)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Possible reason for arsenic toxicity based on its position in the periodic table should be explained.
Concept Introduction:
- The elements with same valence electrons have similar properties and are placed in the same group in periodic table.
- Both phosphorus and arsenic are in group 5A and have similar properties.
- Phosphorus plays important role in the biological activity of human.
- Phosphorous can be easily replaced by this arsenic in the
metabolic pathways where phosphorus is highly needed and leads to toxicity.
(b)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Reason for the accumulation of arsenic in the victim’s hair if he is murdered by arsenic poisoning should be explained. Also the other body parts where arsenic is accumulated on victim of arsenic poisoning should be given.
