  1. Bismuth By Barbara http://www.wisegorilla.com/images/chemstry/PeriodicTable.gif

  2. Physical Properties • Brittle white metal with a pink tint • Solid • Melting point is 271°C • Non magnetic • Hardness- 2-2.5 • Conductivity-(300 K) 7.97 W·m−1·K−1

  3. Crystalline Structure • Crystalline structure- Rhombohedral

  4. Bismuth • Symbol- Bi • Atomic number- 83 • Atomic weight- 208.98040 • Number of protons- 83 • Number of electrons- 83 • Number of neutrons- 126

  5. Bismuth • Block- p • Period- 6 • Group- 15 • Electron configuration- [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p3

  6. Element Uses • Pharmaceuticals • Fuses • A yellow pigment in paints and cosmetics • fire detection, extinguishing systems

  7. Element uses Continued • Sprinklers • Glass • Ceramics • A catalyst in rubber production. • Pepto-Bismol.

  8. Where The Element is Found • Can be found freely in nature • Found in minerals like bismuthine (Bi2O3) and in bismuth ochre (Bi2O3). • Abundance of Bismuth: • Earth's Crust/p.p.m.: 0.048 • Seawater/p.p.m.: • Atlantic Surface: 5.1E-08 • Atlantic Deep: N/A • Pacific Surface: 4E-08 • Pacific Deep: 4E-09

  9. Chemical Properties • Reacts with most acids, halogens, air, and water • Combines slowly with oxygen at room temperature • Bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) gives the metal its pinkish or yellowish tinge. • Oxidation States: +5, +3

  10. Interesting Facts • Can form beautiful crystals • In the early times it was confused with tin and lead • It is generally considered to be the last naturally occurring stable, non-radioactive element on the periodic table • from German Wismuth, which means white mass • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyIo-c7VmIM
