Yes, indium is a reactive metal.
In stands for Indium.
Indium bond with lots of elements to form compounds. Examples: Indium + Phosphorus --> Indium Phosphide Indium + Bromine --> Indium (I/III) Bromide Indium + Fluorine --> Indium Fluoride Indium + Oxygen --> Indium Oxide Indium + Antimony --> Indium Antimonide Indium + Arsenic --> Indium Arsenide
Indium forms a number of chlorides InCl3, indium trichloride InCl, indium monochloride InCl2, indium dichloride
Some other elements in the same family as boron include aluminum, gallium, indium, and thallium. These elements belong to Group 13 in the periodic table and share similar chemical properties due to having the same number of valence electrons.
The noble gases.
Hydrogen can react with practically all other elements.
The full name is Indium (III) Chloride and the formula is InCl3there are other chlorides as indium forms the In+ ion as well as In3+Indium monochloride, indium(I) chlorideIndium dichloride, Indium (I,III) chloride
No. Indium is in group 13 on the periodic table of the elements. This family (or group) is called the Boron Group.
Elements form molecules of chemical compounds
Silicon can be combined with many elements forming chemical compounds as fluorides, chlorides, carbides, nitrides, etc.
Zinc is usually combined with other elements.
The chemical element Indium belongs to the Transition Metal family
