It came from the German words 'Wisuth Bisemutum', meaning 'white mass'.
Bismuth mainly comes from South America and is very rare in the United States.
Well, bismuth is an element- it is not formed from anything else. It may be extracted from bismuth ore, but it is already there.
Bismuth are formed naturally in nature.
Bismuth nitrate is the Bismuth salt of Nitric acid. Its formula is Bi(NO3)3
Bismuth is considered to be a poor metal having an atomic number of 83. The metal carries a charge of +3 . Bismuth has been in existence since ancient times.
Bismuth is used in cosmetics as well as medicines. Bismuth ocychloride is an ingredient for all mineral make-up products.
Bismuth 213 is a radioisotope commonly used in the fields of nuclear medicine. It has unique nuclear properties such as a short 45 minute half-life (time required for half the nucleus to decay) and high energy alpha-particle emission. It is used in radioimmunology to treat patients with leukemia ,lymphomas, as well as for micrometastatic carcinomas Bismuth-213 is carried to the tumor vessel by monoclonal antibody. It is attached to the antibody using the molecule CHXb-DTPA. One end of the CHXb-DTP molecule grabs the bismuth-213 to protect it from being dislodged by competing metal ions, while a functional group at the other end of the molecule attaches the radioisotope to the antibody. When the antibody is attached to CHXb-DTPA it is reacted with the bismuth-213 from the actinium-225/bismuth-213 generator (actinium-225 decays to form bismuth-213). The agent formed is then injected into patients. The Bismuth-213 decays to insignificant quantities of Bi-209 and to release alpha-particles which are what target the cancer cells.
Nonmetal
It is possible to make iron-bismuth alloy.
The black precipitate is metallic bismuth. It is formed when glucose or fructose reduces the bismuth oxynitrate in an alkaline state.
bismuth iodide
Polonium-212 is formed by beta decay of bismuth-212.
No, Bismuth is a metal
bismuth bismuth bismuth
Bi is the symbol for bismuth.
No, the first is Bi(NO3)3 = Bismuth nitrate; it has 3 NO3- ionsand the other is BiO(NO3) = Bismuth oxynitrate, also called Bismuth subnitrate
Bismuth nitrate is the Bismuth salt of Nitric acid. Its formula is Bi(NO3)3
Very few - if any - things are made of bismuth. They are usually made from bismuth compounds. And, bismuth compound usually behave very differently to bismuth just as water is very different from hydrogen!
Bismuth forms a cation.
Bismuth is found with copper, zinc and other elements when they are mined. There is not enough of bismuth for it to have a separate mine.
