lol, why is that? (As in, why is bismuth safe?) Has to do with the number of electrons in the outer layer. Bismuth is the main ingredient in Pepto bismol.

Has to do with the number of electrons in the outer layer.Bismuth has the same valence shell as arsenic and antimony, and those are both bad news. The next one over, Polonium, is an absurdly active alpha emitter, but it's mostly safe to handle. Just don't get it inside you or stare at it too closely. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Fun fact: if you ever find yourself in a warehouse full of a million tons of bananas, and a million tons of pure bismuth, you should shelter behind the bismuth.
It's radioactive, yes, but it's less radioactive than you are, and vastly less radioactive than those bananas. A hypothetical bismuth golem would shelter behind you. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Wait so that really cool chunk of bismuth I bought at a rock show is kinda radioactive? Pretty sure nearly every element in the world has at least one radioactive isotope. The radioactivity of elements is measured by their half life.
