Antimony is a metalloid chemical element that occurs in two forms. The metallic form is shiny, silvery, hard and brittle. The non-metallic form is a grey powder.
Symbol: Sb
Atomic number: 51
Atomic mass: 121.760
Element category: Metalloid
Antimony is a semimetal found in two forms: a stable metallic type and a non-metallic type. Metallic antimony is shiny, silver-white, hard and brittle. Non-metallic antimony appears as a grey powder.
Metallic antimony is primarily used as an alloying component in lead and tin, particularly in lead-acid batteries. Antimony-based alloys are also employed in solder, projectiles and plain bearings. Antimony compounds are utilised across many industrial sectors. Antimony trioxide (Sb2O3) is used in the production of flame retardants. Antimony sulphide (Sb2S3) is frequently utilised in safety fuses, military munitions, explosives and pyrotechnic compositions.
