 bismuth
 Symbol: Bi
 Atomic number: 83
 Atomic weight: 208.980
 White crystalline metal with a pink tinge, belongs to group 15. Most
 diamagnetic of all metals and has the lowest thermal conductivity of all
 the elements except mercury. Lead-free bismuth compounds are used in
 cosmetics and medical procedures. Burns in the air and produces a blue
 flame. In 1753, C.G. Junine first demonstrated that it was different from
 lead.
