Known since ancient times, bismuth is one of the first 10 metals discovered by humans, although it wasn't named until comparatively recently (1660 or so). Its name apparently comes from the Old German word for "white". Bismuth is fairly common in the wild. It occurs in a variety of minerals (often in the company of lead) as well as in its elemental state in the Earth's crust. As its name implies, pure bismuth does appear to be a white metal although closer inspection reveals it is a pale pinkish-grey colour.
Most people are familiar with this element because bismuth subsalicylate resides in many medicine chests in the form of Pepto-Bismol and Kaopectate. In addition to its low toxicity and its beauty, bismuth has more quirky qualities that make it memorable. As our favourite chemists tell us in today's video, bismuth was reputed to have the heaviest stable isotope known, bismuth-209.
