The atomic number of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of the atom of that element.Ok so I'll take you through some interesting facts and data about Antimony (That most people don't know).
Antimony Overview
Atomic Symbol
Sb (Antimony)
Description
Hard, brittle, silvery-white semimetal.
State at 20 °C
Solid
Sources
Found in stibnite (Sb2S3) and in valentinite (Sb2O3).
Found in stibnite (Sb2S3) and in valentinite (Sb2O3).
Uses
It is alloyed with other metals to increase their hardness. Also in the manufacture of a few special types of semiconductor devices. Also in plastics and chemicals. A few kinds of over-the-counter cold and flu remedies use antimony compounds.
