Indium is a solid. It is a metal that is soft and silvery white and has a brilliant luster. It was used as a coat for bearings in high-performance aircraft engines during the second World War.
Indium is a solid metal.
Indium can be solid, liquid or gas. At room temperature, indium is a solid.
Indium is in its solid state at 323°F. Indium has a melting point of 429.91°F, so at 323°F it would be in a solid form.
+3 in its compounds 0 in elemental form
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 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

facts on indium
The chemical symbol of indium is In.
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.
