L'antimoine, sous sa forme la plus courante, est un solide blanc d'argent ressemblant aux métaux, mais cassant [...]. Au point de vue chimique, il est intermédiaire entre les métaux et les non-métaux : c'est un métalloïde ou semi-métal. [...] Numéro atomique : 51. Masse atomique : 121,75. [...] États d'oxydation : -3, +3, et +5. [...] Isotopes : 116, 121, 122, 123 et 124. [...] L'antimoine se trouve dans la nature sous forme d'oxydes, mais son principal minerai est la stibine, sulfure de formule Sb2S3. 6, record 1, French, - antimoine
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
[...] les Anciens [...] confondaient [l'antimoine] avec son sulfure, auquel les Grecs donnaient le nom de «stimmi», et les Romains celui de «stibium». La facilité avec laquelle il s'allie à l'or lui faisait attribuer des qualités nobles, d'où son nom de «régule» (petit roi). 6, record 1, French, - antimoine
