Antimony An"ti*mo*ny (?; 112), n. [LL. antimonium, of unknown
origin.] (Chem.)

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

the antimony of commerce is obtained. Cervantite,
