From researching the properties of Bismuth, I saw that it is noted for being a brittle element. Swords are intentionally designed to have at least some flexibility so that the sword can spring back from sudden impacts, which is where a Bismuth sword would catastrophically fail. Additionally, bismuth may not be able to hold a sharp edge for very long either due to how brittle it is.

How do you extract bismuth from bismuth nitrate?

A single replacement reaction would most likely be the best method. By adding a metallic element of higher reactivity to the compound the Bismuth will separate from the Nitrate ion and the matallic element of higher reactivity will take its place. The Bismuth Nitrate would have to be in an aqueous solution however.

What is the Lewis dot diagram for bismuth?

The Lewis dot diagram for bismuth (Bi) would show the element with its five valence electrons. Bismuth is in Group 15 of the periodic table, so it has five valence electrons, represented by dots around the symbol "Bi."
