| | + | '''Antimony''' ('''Sb''') is a [[toxic]], flaky, brittle [[element]]. It is one of the few elements which is neither a [[metal]] or a non-metal. It does not react with air, but burns brightly when ignited. Since it is not a metal, antimony is a poor [[conductor]] of both [[heat]] and [[electricity]]. |
