Objective Hello my name is Arsenic and I want to use my powers of killing instantaneously for good not evil. I am not sure what specific jobs I could have but some ideas could be; being a pesticide, killing bugs that harm crops, being used when someone is sentenced to the death penalty, or to just put them out of their misery. I am not sure what I would like to do in the real world, but I can do anything that involves killing, hurting, immobilizing and keeping evil out of the workplace if necessary. My friends call me the exterminator. I regret to say that many people have used me to commit suicide. I am not very bright because I tarnish when I come in contact with air so I am usually between a dark gray on a good day to a pitch-black color when I am feeling down. Because only 100 mg is considered lethal I am used in many poisons any other killing concoctions. I am infamous as the killing element in many mystery novels too. I am believed to be discovered around 1250 AD and I have been killing people left and right ever since. I have actually been discovered to do something other than kill which my friend gallium will explain later. Scientists have also heated me to my boiling temperature of 603˚ C and created poisonous gasses instead of solids. With all of these talents surely you can find a position for me in your workplace.

Honors and Awards I am known as one of the most poisonous elements ever to step foot on earth. 47,000 tons of me are produced every year. I am known as a mass murderer although I also participate in some activities that do not involve killing, like with the help of my bro gallium I can turn electric current into laser light. I am sometimes accidentally ingested like when I get into people’s water it gives them gastrointestinal problems. Thanks to me people have a fast and easy way to kill whatever they want. I can also create special types of glass, I can be used as a preservative for some types of wood and, as stated above can create laser light. I can also be used as a semi conductor (I am a metalloid).

Experience and Skills Previous jobs include: A killing substance (of course), a pesticide, Helped Pink Floyd in their laser light shows, I was brushed on many rich people’s decks to keep the wood in good condition. I am quite friendly with the elements in family III like my buddy Gallium, we bond very well, he completes me.

Gallium- Hello, I am Gallium, with my help Arsenic can be used for something other than murder. I complete his outer electron shell because my 3 valance electrons combine with his 5 and together we are stable. Me and Arsenic have worked together for many years creating lasers.

Hydrogen- Bonjour, je m'appelle Hydrogen. Arsenic and I have been able to come together and help society. We assist in the creation of the microchip. Although we still create a lethal gas (I can’t solve everything) AsH3 is an important gas in microchips.

Carbon- Hi, my name is Carbon. When I am part of an compound it becomes organic, aren’t I amazing. Oh yea about Arsenic, I am the only element that can stop Arsenic from killing people, I am sort of like his psychologist. With my help Arsenic is now Organic Arsenic, which is a huge difference because now he is not toxic. With my help Arsenic can accomplish anything.
