Also known as Bi, element 83, 83Bi
Bismuth is a chemical element; it has symbol Bi and atomic number 83. It is a post-transition metal and one of the pnictogens, with chemical properties resembling its lighter group 15 siblings arsenic and antimony. Elemental bismuth occurs naturally, and its sulfide and oxide forms are important commercial ores. The free element is 86% as dense as lead. It is a brittle metal with a silvery-white color when freshly produced. Surface oxidation generally gives samples of the metal a somewhat rosy cast. Further oxidation under heat can give bismuth a vividly iridescent appearance due to thin-film
Bismuth is a naturally occurring metal element (Bi) that belongs to the same chemical family as arsenic and antimony, and it's typically extracted from its mineral ores for commercial use. It's a brittle, silvery-white metal that develops a distinctive rosy or iridescent appearance as it oxidizes, and it's notably less dense than lead.
