Okay, I've got a piece of crystalline bismuth, so you can actually take sort of pellets of bismuth,metal, and heat it up, I've seen photos of people doing that on their home cookers, their ovens and things, but you can make them in the lab so you get crystals of bismuth out which look like thiswhich is actually really really pretty and there are websites of people who've made these crystalsand they're selling them for collectors and things which is quite nice. Bismuth is interesting because it is the heaviest element that is not radioactive.You can imagine the nucleus, the center of the atom, rather like a drop of water, and if you imaginea drop of water as it gets bigger and bigger it becomes unstable and will usually split into two,and ...
