An elementary substance, resembling a metal in its appearance and physical properties, but in its chemical relations belonging to the class of nonmetallic substances. Atomic weight, 120. Symbol, Sb.
CAS Number: 7440-36-0. A metalloid element that is commonly metallic silvery white, crystalline, and brittle. It is used especially as a constituent of alloys and semiconductors. Chemical symbol = Sb. Molecular weight: 121.75 g/mol. Learn More...
A metallic element used to alloy lead to increase hardness. Symbol Sb.
The mineral source of the bright yellow color used in the glaze on so-called "canary lustre" wares, more correctly called "yellow-glazed earthenware" in that there is no lustre involved.
An N-type dopant often used to form the buried layer in a bipolar structure.
White, greyish or yellowish crystalline chemical element.
Metallic element with hardening properyies, used in a range of alloy, including pewter.
A metal used as a catalyst in the polyester manufacturing process. Antimony is a suspected carcinogen, and industry efforts are now underway to perfect and expand the process of producing antimony-free polyester.
A metallic element (Sb) not widely used in early metallurgy but which was used to make opaque and coloured glazes and glasses from the C16th BC through to the early first milennium AD, when its use in glass began to be supplanted by tin. Fine calcium antimonate particles in a glaze make it opaque white, and lead antimonate is opaque yellow (artists’ term ‘Naples yellow’). Antimony oxide is poisonous in lead glazes.
a metallic element having four allotropic forms; used in a wide variety of alloys; found in stibnite
a metallic oxide used to produce yellow coloring of glass.
A natural metal; a brittle, lustrous, white metallic element used chiefly in alloys such as Britannia Metal.
A metallic element used as a hardening agent in lead alloys.
An element that is an N-type dopant in silicon – one that is usually used as the dopant for the buried layer.
A brittle silvery-white metallic element.
A metallic element formerly used to make many medicines for the treatment of fevers. It causes vomiting, sweating, and purging of the bowels. Chronic exposure to antimony compounds can cause nausea, vomiting, "antimony spots" (scaly skin blemishes), and anemia, often progressing to circulatory collapse and death.
A metallic element that increases the hardness of lead when combined as an alloy.
One of the metals that may be alloyed with tin to create pewter. First used by French pewterers in the 17th century then British pewterers in the late 17th century and by American pewterers in the 19th century. Antimony is the latest addition to the pewter alloy. Pewter, like gold, is too soft by itself to be a useful metal. Prior to the 1800's, European pewter makers added lead to the alloy to provide strength. Since crafters began to smelt their own pewter in the Americas, however, antimony has been used instead. In addition to being much safer than lead, antimony also adds a lighter finish to the alloy.
One of the elements; its chemical symbol is Sb. Its formula weight is 121.76, specific gravity 6.62, and melting point 630.5°C.
atomic symbol, Sb, antimony is the 51st element in the periodic table ( atomic number 51) with an atomic weight of 121.8. Antimony is a group V element making it a donor in silicon, i.e., makes silicon N-type. Antimony is a large atom with a low diffusivity in silicon and is commonly used as a buried layer dopant where low outgassing and up- diffusion are desired.
Metal, which is sometimes added as an alloying agent to increase hardness in tin or lead. The atomic symbol is SB, atomic number is 51 and the atomic weight is 121.75. A one percent combination with lead is used to sheath electric cables and a ratio of six to seven percent to make the plates in lead-acid batteries.
