Crystal Structure
Rhombohedral Crystal Structure
weakly radioactive
Visual Properties
White, Crystalline, Brittle Metal w/ pinkish tinge
Iridescent coloration when oxidized by pure oxygen
Interactive Properties
The MOST diamagnetic metal. Repelled by strong magnetic fields
2nd Lowest thermal conductivity behind mercury
Very High Electrical Resistance
HIGHEST hall effect of any metal. (elec resist increase when exposed to mag field)
Stable when interacting with oxygen and water.
Dissolves in concentrated nitric air?
All bismuth salts form insoluble compounds when placed in water
Pretty Low melting point (520 F)
