Arsenite
In chemistry, an arsenite is a chemical compound containing an arsenic oxyanion where arsenic has oxidation state +3. Note that in fields that commonly deal with groundwater chemistry, arsenite is used generically to identify soluble AsIII anions. IUPAC have recommended that arsenite compounds are to be named as arsenate(III), for example ortho-arsenite is called trioxidoarsenate(III).

Arsenite
In chemistry an arsenite is a chemical compound containing an arsenic oxoanion where arsenic has oxidation state +3. The different forms of the anion are the next ones: ⁕ortho-arsenite: AsO33- ⁕meta-arsenite: AsO2- Examples of arsenites include sodium arsenite which contains a polymeric linear anion, [AsO2−]n, and silver arsenite, Ag3AsO3, which contains the trigonal, AsO33− anion. Arsenite contrasts to the corresponding anions of the lighter members of group 15, phosphite which has the structure HPO32− and nitrite, NO2− which is bent. Sodium arsenite is used in the water gas shift reaction to remove carbon dioxide. Arsenites are salts of arsenious acid. Note that in fields that commonly deal with groundwater chemistry, arsenite commonly refers to As2O3, the acid anhydride of arsenious acid. Its white odorless crystals are toxic and very soluble in water. It occurs in nature as arsenolite and claudetite, and is also a byproduct of metal smelting. Its main use is in producing chromated copper arsenate to treat timber. It is also used for arsenic pesticides, glass production, pharmaceuticals and non-ferrous alloys.
