When Bismouth is exposed to a magnetic field, it makes a copy of the field with the same polarity causing it to push against it like two two north poles. The formal term for this effect is diamagnetism; it causes magnets to be repelled away. Bismouth is the most diamagnetic chemical element that we know of. It is possible to make Bismouth levitate above a magnetic field.

Bimouth has countless other strange properties like it expands when it solidifies making it less dense. Solid Bismouth would float in liquid bismouth just like ice floats in water.
Most alloys of Bismouth have a very low melting point.
