1.1 Definition
Bismuth is a chemical element with the symbol Bi and atomic number 83. It is a white, crystalline, brittle metal with a pinkish tinge . The melting point of Bismuth is 271 . 3℃ and its boiling point is 1,564℃ . Bismuth is the most diamagnetic of all metals, and its thermal conductivity is lower than any metal except mercury . It has a high electrical resistance, and has the highest Hall effect of any metal . It is stable in oxygen and water but dissolves in concentrated nitric air . Bismuth's properties are similar to those of lead, except that it is non-toxic, making it a suitable and safer substitute . Due to this rarity, it is classified among the group of elements colloquially known as "poor elements" in the periodic table.
