Arsenic is a pure element. Elements (atoms) are the simplest building blocs excluding smaller elementary particles such as electrons, neutrons, quarks, protons etc. 

This means that Arsenic can not be broken down any further by chemical change, only nuclear decay can cause the breakdown of large elements into smaller ones. Chemical change would be the combination of multiple elements into a compound or the decomposition of a molecule/compound into pure elements or smaller compounds.
