The symbol Sb derives from Latin stibium, the classical name for stibnite (Sb₂S₃), the primary ore. Antimony is scarce (0.2 mg/kg) and extracted primarily from stibnite through roasting and reduction. Antimony is a brittle semimetal with metallic luster. Its primary use is as a hardener and flame retardant in alloys, particularly in lead-acid batteries where antimony strengthens the lead plates. [model-prior - verify] Antimony trioxide is a widely used flame-retardant compound in polymers, textiles, and coatings. Antimony compounds were historically used in medicine and cosmetics (kohl, for example). [model-prior - verify] The element exhibits unusual properties that make it useful as a p-type dopant in semiconductor device applications. [model-prior - verify] The corpus meets antimony as a metallurgical bridge—from ancient chemistry to modern flame retardancy and semiconductor doping. ## Corpus connections - R.E.A.C.T.I.O.N. - the Chemistry hub - Centers of Excellence Portal - [[Technetium|Technetium - the element made before found]] - the canon's patron - and Technitium, the School - Solar System Mining Surveys - antimony in alloys and semiconductors ## Vocational-Technical Semiotics The element speaks the canon's shared signs: the periodic table cell (Sb, group 15, period 5), isotope notation, and hazard pictograms ghs where handling demands it. ## Sources Infobox: [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemical_elements](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemical_elements) (fetched 2026-07-08); etymology per the same table's notes.
