How would arsenine ion's AS3 minus be formed from arsenic Adam's

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Arsenic atoms have a valency of 3. To form an arsenine ion (AS3-), three arsenic atoms would need to lose three electrons each to achieve a stable electron configuration. This would result in the formation of three arsenic ions, each with a charge of 3+.

These three arsenic ions (AS3+) would then combine with three electrons to form the arsenine ion (AS3-). This ion would have a net charge of -3.
