wikipedia.org has things you need to know about questions you want answerd and yea heres the proof

Isotopes
A jacket of As-75, irradiated by the intense high-energy neutron flux from an exploding thermonuclear weapon, would transmute into the radioactive isotope As-76 with a half-life of 1.0778 days and produce approximately 1.13 MeV of gamma radiation, significantly increasing the radioactivity of the weapon's fallout for several hours. Such a weapon is not known to have ever been built, tested, or used

Arsenic is a chemical element that has the symbol As and atomic number 33. Its position in the periodic table is shown at right. This is a notoriously poisonous metalloid that has many allotropic forms; yellow, black and gray are a few that are regularly seen. Arsenic is not found free in nature, but its compounds are widely distributed in minerals. Arsenic and its compounds are used as pesticides, herbicides, insecticides and various alloys.

no its not, usually. Almost any element can become radioactive if you remove nuetrons from it in some way. These are called isotopes and are often radioactive.

NO!

Arsenic is a very "stable" element.

Look at your periodic table, elements like plutonium, and uranium are the likes that exhibit radioactive properties! ;)

It could be if exposed to a radioactive source, but in its normal sate it is not. It is only poisonous
