| Abstract: | Properties ofBismuth.—Bismuth is a comparatively rare metal of a silver white colour, iu which a distinctly reddish tinge is noticeable. This metal, which has a specific gravity of 9’83, melts at a temperature of 270“ C. (507° F.). On passing from the fused to the solid state, it increases considerably in volume ; on this property, coupled with its low fusibility, many of the uses to which bismuth has been applied depend. Metallic bismuth is so brittle that it can be readily pulverised. |
