So Arsenic is poisonous to Oxygen based life forms (Humans). What would be poisonous to a Sulfur based life form (if they exsisted)?
I believe oxygen would be poisonous. Some anaerobic bacteria have a sulfur based metabolism. Perhaps too much Mo (or anything that strongly binds with sulfur relative to the metabolic compounds) would be toxic.artsyashley88 said:So Arsenic is poisonous to Oxygen based life forms (Humans).

The periodic table is an organized chart that displays all the known elements in the universe. It arranges the elements based on their atomic structure, properties, and chemical behavior.
Elements can be toxic to one another when they react and form harmful compounds. For example, when chlorine and sodium react, they form sodium chloride (table salt), which is not toxic. However, when chlorine and mercury react, they form mercury chloride, which is highly toxic.
The main purpose of the periodic table is to provide a systematic and organized way to categorize and study the elements. It helps scientists understand the properties, behavior, and relationships between different elements.
Elements interact with one another through chemical reactions. During a chemical reaction, atoms of different elements combine to form new substances with different properties.
No, not all elements are toxic to one another. Some elements can form harmless compounds, while others can form toxic compounds. It depends on the specific elements and their chemical properties.
