Bismuth, with the chemical symbol Bi and CAS number 7440-69-9, is a post-transition metal known for its unique properties. It has a relatively low density and a high atomic mass, making it one of the heaviest stable elements. Bismuth is characterized by its brittle nature and a shiny, silvery-white appearance with a slight pink hue. It exhibits a low thermal conductivity and is a poor conductor of electricity compared to other metals. Bismuth has a high melting point and expands upon solidification, which is unusual for metals. Chemically, it is relatively inert, showing resistance to oxidation and corrosion, and it does not react with water or dilute acids. Bismuth compounds, such as bismuth subsalicylate, are used in medicine, particularly for gastrointestinal issues. Additionally, bismuth is non-toxic compared to other heavy metals, making it a safer alternative in various applications, including cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Its unique properties and low toxicity have led to increased interest in its use in various industrial and medical applications.
