Physical properties
Indium is a silvery-white, shiny metal with a density of 7.31 grams per cubic centimeter. It is one of the softest metals known, even softer than lead. If drawn across a piece of paper, it leaves a mark like a "lead" pencil (which is actually carbon).
An unusual property of indium is that it produces a "tin cry." A tin cry is a scream-like sound made when the metal is bent.
Indium's main spectral lines are a brilliant indigo blue.
Indium has a melting point of 156.6°C (313.9°F) and a boiling point of 2,075°C (3,767°F). It has the unusual property of remaining soft and workable at very low temperatures. This property allows it to be used in special equipment needed for temperatures near absolute zero. Absolute zero is the coldest temperature possible. It is about —273°C (—459°F).
Indium metal dissolves in acids, but does not react with oxygen at room temperature. At higher temperatures, it combines with oxygen to form indium oxide (In2O3).
