Ball and stick versus Spacefilling models

The two models show different geometries for the same molecule, as the geometry surrounding the arsenic different. I would imagine the ball-and-stick model is correct, because the arsenic atom has a lone pair. Jed 20012 (talk) 03:40, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

The article asserts that "stockpiles of Lewisite were neutralized with bleach and dumped into the Gulf of Mexico" citing Code Red - Weapons of Mass Destruction [Online Resource - Blister Agents]. I strongly suspect that this is incorrect. The total amount of Lewisite dumped in the ocean by the U.S. exceeds 11,000 tons; see: Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Installations and Environment (ODUSD[I&E])). Defense Environmental Programs Fiscal Year 2006 Annual Report to Congress, March 2007. Appendix R, Figure R-1. Professor Joel Vilensky describes the sea disposal operations on pages 108-111 of his book (Vilensky, J. A. Dew of death: the story of Lewisite, America’s World War I weapon of mass destruction; Indiana University Press: Bloomington, IN, 2005). He indicates that the agent was dumped untreated, which is also supported by the ODUSD[I&E] report. I would suggest deleting the reference to neutralization and the Gulf of Mexico. 65.216.138.253 (talk) 18:54, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
