Bismuth is a heavy metal element with chemical symbol Bi and atomic number 83. It is known for its unique physical and chemical properties:
- Appearance: Bismuth is a brittle, crystalline metal that has a silvery pink hue. Its surface oxidation produces iridescent colors, making it a popular material for artistic and decorative purposes.
- Physical Properties: It has a high density and is diamagnetic, meaning it is repelled by a magnetic field. Bismuth has a low thermal conductivity and is one of the few metals that expands when solidified.
- Uses: Bismuth is used in various industrial applications. It is part of some low-melting alloys that are used in fire fuses and extinguishing systems. In medicine, bismuth is included in some medical compounds.
- Production: Bismuth is a by-product of the mining and refining of lead, copper, tin, silver and gold.
- Crystallization: Bismuth crystals are known for their complex, stepped structure and iridescent colors, making them popular collectibles. These crystals are often produced by artificially controlled crystallization.
Bismuth is a fascinating element with many interesting applications and aesthetic properties that make it valued in various fields of science, technology and art.
