As anyone would guess, every atom has mass, an important physical property, even Antimony. But how do we know how much does a Sb atom weight?
First of all, if we know the atom symbol, let's say Sb, we can open any periodic table and search for Antimony.
In the case of Antimony the answer is 121,757. However there is a lot of funny facts about Antimony that most people don't know. Shall we have a look?
