Definitions for BISMUTH in dictionary:

NOUN:
• a brittle reddish-white metallic element
• the chemical element of atomic number 83, a brittle reddish-tinged grey metal.
• a compound of bismuth used medicinally.
• pinkish-white metallic element
• 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.

• a heavy brittle diamagnetic trivalent metallic element (resembles arsenic and antimony chemically); usually recovered as a by-product from ores of other metals
