Mineral Species containing Antimony (Sb)

Element Properties, Isotopic Compositions for Antimony

**Antimony (Sb) Element Properties**
Atomic Mass	121.75
Atomic Number	51
Name Origins	Greek, anti + monos = "not alone", Latin, "stibium."
Year Discovered	Prehistoric
Discovery Credits	Probably known to the ancients and certainly to the alchemists.
Remarks	Metalloid element with various allotropes, of which metal is bright, silvery, hard, and brittle. Stable in dry air and not attacked by dilute acids of alkalis. Used to harden other metals, in storage batteries, bearings, etc. Diagnostic tests: Antimony is usually detected by the coating of oxide formed by roasting on charcoal or the open tube. Antimonides, antimony, etc. (As^2-): A sample of the powdered mineral gives off a dense sublimate of Sb₂O₃ when roasted on charcoal without the arsenic odor. In the open tube test, they give a white, volatile, crystalline sublimate of Sb₂O₃ at a much higher temperature than arsenic. In the closed tube test with sulfur, they yield a black sublimate when hot and red or reddish brown when cold. Antimonates (SbO₄): can be detected by lack of a garlic odor (arsenic) and the white sublimate yielded when a mixture of the powdered mineral with charcoal dust and Na₂CO₃ is heated with a reducing flame on a charcoal block. The pale green flame test for Antimony is not very decisive.
