The name Bismuth comes from the German word wissmuth,

meaning white mass.

Bismuth has been known to be around since ancient times and

used. Therefore, it is unsure who discovered it first or where it was

discovered.

In 1753, Claude Geoffroy was the first to classify and show bismuth

as a distinct element

Bismuth is a solid at room temperature, and is silvery white in color. Bismuth crystalscan be made artificially and are not found naturally.

Bismuth melts at 271.40 degrees Celsius.

Bismuth boils at an extremely high temperature of 1564 degrees

Celsius.

Has a density of 9.807g/ cm^3

An interesting characteristic that bismuth possesses is that bismuthhas a lower density as a solid than in liquid form.

Bismuth is particularly good for making sharp castings for objects

subject to damage , and the low melting point of bismuth allows for

bismuth alloys to be used in safety equipment and extinguishing

systems.


5/14

Bismuth has no major isotopes that have any commercial

application.

209 Bi is the only naturally occurring form of Bismuth.


6/14

Bismuth can be found in mines all over

the world, but the largest mines are

found in China, Mexico, Peru, and

Bolivia.

Bismuth can be mined out in its natural

whitish rock form.


7/14

Bismuth typically costs more than

copper, lead and zinc. It sells for about

$9.50/lb currently


8/14

There are typically no primary uses for the natural metallic Bismuth. It is mostly Bismuth

alloys, and it is the properties that Bismuth contributes to several alloys that makes this

element useful.

A major use of Bismuth is in a pharmaceutical remedy known as Bismuth Subsalicylate

(C7H5BiO4) , which is used in Pepto Bismol to help with stomach and intestinal discomforts .

Bismuth Subnitrate is a compound found in Bismoline, which aids in the relief of skin

irritations.

Other Common Bismuth Compounds and Their Uses:

Bismuth Oxide, Bi2O3Commonly used as a catalyst in chemical

industry for glazes, glass, and medicine.

Bismuth Oxychloride,BiOCl

Used in cosmetics such as, face powders.

Bismuthinite, Bi2S3natural ore of Bismuth.

Bismanol, BiMnstrong magnet

*When Bismuth is heated over a flame it produces a blue flame color.

Bismuth has five valence electrons and is often Bi 3- ion.

Bismuths Quantum Numbersn = 6 l = 1 ml = 1 ms = +

Bismuth has a typically low specific heat of about 0.12 J/g* C
