2. Properties and Uses of Indium Melting Point: 156.61 degrees Celsius Boiling point : 2080 degrees Celsius Lithium is a metal Lithium is solid Is Colored Silvery-White Soft Wets Glass Emits a “scream” when bent Used in low-melting alloys Used in certain mirrors Used in solders Used in rectifiers that are used in alternating currents Used in photoconductors Used in germanium transistor radios ?? ? 49 P 66 N ? ?

3. History and Location of Indium Indium was discovered in 1863 by two German named Ferdinand Reich and Theodore Richter. It was identified as a minor component in zinc ores. Named after the indigo line in its atomic spectrum Found melted in a type of mirror Found in film coatings on LCDs Found in lower concentration in many rocks and minerals Found in certain alloys Theodore Richter Ferdinand Reich LCD Projector

4. Indium (to the theme of Oh Christmas Tree) Oh, Indium, Oh solid metal, Indium, Oh, Indium, You’re the silver-white element, Indium. Oh, you’re a soft element, But you emit a “scream” when bent Oh, Indium, Oh solid metal, Indium. Oh, Indium, Oh, solid metal, Indium. Oh, Indium, You’re the silver-white element, Indium. In 1863, so long ago, You were found and named after indigo. Oh, Indium, Oh solid metal, Indium. Oh, Indium, Oh, solid metal, Indium Oh, Indium, Oh solid metal, Indium. You’re the silver-white element, Indium. Your used in many things, you see, You’re in film coatings in LCD’s. Oh, Indium, Oh, solid metal, Indium. Oh, Indium, Oh solid metal, Indium. Oh, Indium, You’re the silver-white element, Indium. You’re a component in zinc ores, And you’re used in special types of mirrors. Oh, Indium, Oh solid metal, Indium
