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.
