The alloy stibnite
A chemical element (symbol Sb) with an atomic number of 51. The symbol is derived from Latin stibium
{n} brittle heavy metal used in medicine and the arts
a metallic element having four allotropic forms; used in a wide variety of alloys; found in stibnite
(rhymes with alimony) <)))
- A natural metal; a brittle, lustrous, white metallic element used chiefly in alloys such as Britannia Metal
Occurs naturally in soils, groundwater and surface waters and is often used in the flame retardant industry, glass, batteries, fireworks, and explosives Antimony may enter drinking water through natural weathering of rock, industrial production, municipal waste disposal, or manufacturing processes Measured in mg/L or ppm The MCL for antimony is 0 006 mg/L or ppm
* A metallic element mixed with lead to form a lead alloy for the purpose of hardening the lead Most commursla manufactures use up to 3% to 6% antimony in their lead bullet cores
Occurs naturally with copper which was later alloyed to produce bronze
A metallic element that has hardening qualities
Atomic weight, 120
An elementary substance, resembling a metal in its appearance and physical properties, but in its chemical relations belonging to the class of nonmetallic substances
a chemical element (symbol Sb) with an atomic number of 51. The symbol is derived from the Latin stibium
a silver-white metal that breaks easily and is often combined with other metals. It is a chemical element : symbol Sb. Semimetallic to metallic chemical element (see metal), chemical symbol Sb, atomic number
Symbol, Sb
Of its various allotropes, the most common is a lustrous, bluish, brittle, flaky solid. In nature antimony occurs chiefly as the gray sulfide mineral stibnite, Sb2S3. Pure antimony metal has no important uses, but its alloys and compounds are extremely useful. Some antimony alloys have the rare quality of expanding on solidifying; these are used for castings and for type metal. Alloys with lead are used in car batteries, bullets, and cable sheaths. Antifriction alloys with tin and lead (babbitt metals) are used as components of machine bearings. Antimony compounds (valences 3, 4, and 5) are widely used as flame retardants in paints, plastics, rubber, and textiles; others are used as paint pigments

    Etymologie

    () Unclear; possibly from a hypothetical Greek adjective *antimonos "opposed to solitude" from ἀντί (anti, “against”) and μόνος (monos, “alone”), as the element was thought never to exist in its pure form; or from Egyptian mśdmt via Coptic; or from the pharaonic expression Antos Ammon, which may be translated as (“bloom of the god Ammon”).
