problem with melting antimony
when i tried to melt antimony, it didn't melt, only a very tiny bit melted. i tried to melt it with a blowtorch like thoisoi2 did in his antimony
video but it didn't work and i have no idea why.
does anyone know why it happened? i know it didn't make antimony oxide because it didn't make a white layer it just turned darker and got a dirtier
look onto it.
35 elements synthesized me in total
bought 15 because of toxicity issues/cant get it from household materials
3 years of this project and still working on catching them all (that's possible)

Are you sure you were heating it up enough? You need to get it to 630 °C
Also are you sure your sample was pure?

ones i placed sample of antimony on my wallet.in a flash all my money was gone along with antimony.
also be careful with online sellers of antimony because lead acid batteries use alloy of Pb and Sb so some Sb that sells comes from recycling of that
alloy, may contain toxic Lead impurities.
