A metallic element having allotropic forms used in a wide variety of alloys found in stibnite.
Titanium in the pure state can exist in either of two allotropic forms.
The structures of the principal allotropic forms of all the elements will be discussed in detail as the chemistry of each element is treated.
a very poisonous metallic element that has three allotropic forms; arsenic and arsenic compounds are used as herbicides and insecticides and various alloys; found in arsenopyrite and orpiment and realgar.
a toxic nonmetallic element related to sulfur and tellurium; occurs in several allotropic forms; a stable gray metallike allotrope conducts electricity better in the light than in the dark and is used in photocells; occurs in sulfide ores (as pyrite).
