Antimony
atomic symbol, Sb, antimony is the 51st element in the periodic table ( atomic number 51) with an atomic weight of 121.8. Antimony is a group V element making it a donor in silicon, i.e., makes silicon N-type. Antimony is a large atom with a low diffusivity in silicon and is commonly used as a buried layer dopant where low outgassing and up-diffusion are desired.

antimony
\an"ti*mo*ny\ (?; 112), n. [ll. antimonium, of unknown origin.] (chem.) an elementary substance, resembling a metal in its appearance and physical properties, but in its chemical relations belonging to the class of nonmetallic substances. atomic weight, 120. symbol, sb.
note: it is of tin-white color, brittle, laminated or crystalline, fusible, and vaporizable at a rather low temperature. it is used in some metallic alloys, as type metal and bell metal, and also for medical preparations, which are in general emetics or cathartics. by ancient writers, and some moderns, the term is applied to native gray ore of antimony, or stibnite (the stibium of the romans, and the sti`mmi of the greeks, a sulphide of antimony, from which most of the antimony of commerce is obtained. cervantite, senarmontite, and valentinite are native oxides of antimony.

Antimony
Name: antimony
Symbol: Sb
Atomic number: 51
Atomic weight: 121.760 (1) g
Group in periodic table: 15
Group name: Pnictogen
Period in periodic table: 5
Block in periodic table: p-block
CAS registry ID: 7440-36-0
Metallic antimony is an extremely brittle metal of a flaky, crystalline texture. It is bluish white and has a metallic lustre. It is not acted on by air at room temperature, but burns brilliantly when heated with the formation of white fumes. It is a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
Antimony and its compounds are toxic. It is found mostly with other minerals and in stibnite.

Antimony
Antimony (IPA: ) is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Sb (, meaning "mark") and atomic number 51. A metalloid, antimony has four allotropic forms. The stable form of antimony is a blue-white metalloid. Yellow and black antimony are unstable non-metals. Antimony is used in flame-proofing, paints, ceramics, enamels, a wide variety of alloys, electronics, and rubber.
