Bismuth Crystal

            Bismuth is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Bi and atomic number 83. With crystalline trivalent metal has chemical property similar to arsenic and antimony. All types of metal, this element is diamagnetic and the second after the mercury is an element that has the lowest thermal conductivity. Lead-free bismuth compounds are often used as an ingredient in cosmetics and in the medical field.

            Heavy metals such as bismuth harmless elements like Lead, Thallium, and Antimony. Bismuth diamagnetic has high electrical resistance. When it have burned with oxygen, bismuth burns with a blue flame.

            In the earth's crust, bismuth is approximately 2 times more abundant than gold. Bismuth oxychloride is used in the field of cosmetics and bismuth subnitrate and subcarbonate used in the field of medicine.
