Definition
Relating to or containing arsenic in its trivalent form (As³⁺), especially in compounds like arsenious oxide or arsenious acid.
Etymology
From Latin 'arsenicum' (arsenic) + '-ious' (adjective suffix), describing chemical compounds and their properties; similar to how '-ous' often indicates a lower oxidation state compared to '-ic' endings.
Kelly Says
Chemistry uses these suffix tricks all the time—'arsenious' vs 'arsenic' tells chemists whether arsenic has lost 3 or 5 electrons, and that tiny difference can mean the compound is less toxic or reacts completely differently!
