Bismuth \Bis"muth\, n. [Ger. bismuth, wismuth: cf. F. bismuth.]
   (Chem.)
   One of the elements; a metal of a reddish white color,
   crystallizing in rhombohedrons. It is somewhat harder than
   lead, and rather brittle; masses show broad cleavage surfaces
   when broken across. It melts at 507[deg] Fahr., being easily
   fused in the flame of a candle. It is found in a native
   state, and as a constituent of some minerals. Specific
   gravity 9.8. Atomic weight 207.5. Symbol Bi.

   Note: Chemically, bismuth (with arsenic and antimony is
         intermediate between the metals and nonmetals; it is
         used in thermo-electric piles, and as an alloy with
         lead and tin in the fusible alloy or metal. Bismuth is
         the most diamagnetic substance known.

   {Bismuth glance}, bismuth sulphide; bismuthinite.

   {Bismuth ocher}, a native bismuth oxide; bismite.
