Bismuth compounds
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bismuth compounds are chemical compounds that have bismuth ions in them. Bismuth is found in two oxidation states: +3 and +5. The +3 state is more common.
+3 compounds [change]
+3 compounds are weak oxidizing agents except for bismuthine. They are normally pale yellow.
- Bismuthine, unstable gas
- Bismuth(III) bromide, pale yellow solid
- Bismuth(III) chloride, pale yellow solid
- Bismuth(III) fluoride, gray white solid
- Bismuth(III) iodide, dark gray solid
- Bismuth(III) oxide, pale yellow solid
- Bismuth(III) oxychloride, whitish solid
- Bismuth(III) sulfide, brown solid
+5 compounds [change]
+5 compounds are very strong oxidizing agents.
- Bismuth(V) fluoride, colorless solid
- Bismuth(V) oxide, unstable red solid
- Bismuthate, the ion
- Sodium bismuthate, light brown solid, insoluble in water
