Iyazinzile ezingeni lokushisa elijwayelekile, futhi iyasha elangabini eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lapho ishiswa, futhi ikhiqiza i-bismuth oxide ephuzi noma ensundu.
Ivolumu yensimbi encibilikisiwe iyanda ngemva kokufingqa.
Gwema ukuthintana nama-oxides, ama-halogen, ama-acids, nama-interhalogen compounds.
Ayincibiliki ku-hydrochloric acid lapho umoya ungekho, futhi ingancibilika kancane lapho kungena umoya.
Umthamo ukhuphuka usuka oketshezini uye oqinile, futhi izinga lokunwetshwa ngu-3.3%.
I-brittle futhi ichotshozwa kalula, futhi ayinakho ukuhanjiswa kahle kukagesi kanye ne-thermal.
Ingasabela nge-bromine ne-iodine lapho ishiswa.
Ezingeni lokushisa legumbi, i-bismuth ayisabelani nomoya-mpilo noma amanzi, futhi ingasha ukuze ikhiqize i-bismuth trioxide lapho ishiswa ngaphezu kwendawo yokuncibilika.
I-Bismuth selenide ne-teluride zinezakhiwo ze-semiconducting.
