What does bismuth react with?
Bismuth makes a new substance with 8 other elements and chemicals in our lab:
- Bismuth + OxygenBismuth(III) oxide 4Bi + 3O₂ → 2Bi₂O₃ · When heated · Try it
- Bismuth + FluorineBismuth(V) fluoride 2Bi + 5F₂ → 2BiF₅ · At room temperature · Try it
- Bismuth + SulfurBismuth(III) sulfide 2Bi + 3S → Bi₂S₃ · When heated · Try it
- Bismuth + ChlorineBismuth(III) chloride 2Bi + 3Cl₂ → 2BiCl₃ · When heated · Try it
- Bismuth + SeleniumBismuth(III) selenide 2Bi + 3Se → Bi₂Se₃ · When heated · Try it
- Bismuth + BromineBismuth(III) bromide 2Bi + 3Br₂ → 2BiBr₃ · When heated · Try it
- Bismuth + TelluriumBismuth(III) telluride 2Bi + 3Te → Bi₂Te₃ · When heated · Try it
- Bismuth + IodineBismuth(III) iodide 2Bi + 3I₂ → 2BiI₃ · When heated · Try it
It also blends into a mixture, like an alloy, with 74 other metals when melted together.
Nothing happens when it's simply mixed with 16 of the others. 21 pairings have never been tried, because not enough atoms have ever existed.
