[Vocabulary] arsenic toxide

[parsley1]

Hello every one!I faced the title expression in a text and want to know the exact meaning of it (mainly "toxide")...

 

[Charlie Bernstein]

If it was a serious text, it's probably a typo and should say oxide or trioxide.

If it wasn't serious, it might have been a play on the word toxic.

There's no way to tell. That's why we always ask you to give us the source and the whole quote.

Thank you anyway... I was surprised how did you remember me and realize my previous posts!

at's why we always ask you to give us the source the whole quote.

Can 'at's' be used as a contracted form of 'that's'?

It sounds like an imaginary poison.
