Phosphorus is a nonmetal, and indium is a metal.
Phosphorus is a non metal. Indium is a metal.
Indium is a metal, and therefore not a nonmetal.
There are several such elements. All of them are in group 13. Those elements are boron, aluminum, gallium, indium, and thallium.
Indium forms the following bromides InBr3, indium tribromide, indium (III) bromide InBr, Indium monobromide, Indium(I) bromide InBr2, indium dibromide, In+ InBr4- , indium (I,III) bromide there are others which are not so well known
Indium forms a number of chlorides InCl3, indium trichloride InCl, indium monochloride InCl2, indium dichloride
caves have indium in it
Indium wire and indium foil
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
facts on indium
All the elements on the periodic table left of and including boron, aluminium, gallium, indium, and thallium are metals. To the right are metalloids (semi-metals) or non-metals.
Pure indium is nontoxic, even in high concentrations (breathing in indium particles is not very healthy, obviously, but not because of any special property of indium). However, indium in a soluble solution is damaging to the kidneys, and certain indium compounds (most notably indium trichloride and indium phosphide) are very dangerous to the lungs.
Indium can be solid, liquid or gas. At room temperature, indium is a solid.
