Bismuth and cadmium form a simple eutectic mixture that behaves like that in model 3. Bismuth melts at 271°C and 1 bar, whereas cadmium melts at 321°C and 1 bar. The enthalpy of fusion of bismuth is 11.30 kJ/mol, and that of cadmium is 6.19 kJ/mol. A eutectic point is observed at 55.5 mol% cadmium.
