List Of Countries By Bismuth Production
From Handwiki Bismuth /ˈbɪzməθ/ is a chemical element that has the symbol Bi and atomic number 83. This heavy, brittle, white crystalline trivalent other metal has a pink tinge and chemically resembles arsenic and antimony.
Of all the metals, it is the most naturally diamagnetic, and only mercury has a lower thermal conductivity. It is also generally considered as the last naturally occurring non-radioactive element.
Bismuth compounds are used in cosmetics and in medical procedures. As the toxicity of lead has become more apparent in recent years, alloy uses for bismuth metal as a replacement for lead have become an increasing part of bismuth's commercial importance.
