Indian properties
Indium belongs to the group of metallic elements known as the p-block metals that are located next to the metalloids or semimetals in the periodic table. These types of elements tend to be soft and have low melting points, properties that can also be attributed to indium, since it is part of this group of elements.
The state of the Indian in its natural form is solid. Indium is a lustrous silvery-gray chemical element and belongs to the group of the p-block metals. The atomic number for indium is 49. The chemical symbol for indium is In. The melting point of indium is 429.75 degrees Kelvin or 157.6 degrees Celsius, or degrees Celsius. The boiling point of indium is 2345 degrees Kelvin or 2072.85 degrees Celsius or degrees Celsius.
Atomic Properties of Indium
The atomic mass of an element is determined by the total mass of neutrons and protons that can be found in a single atom belonging to this element. As for the position to find indium within the periodic table of elements, indium is in group 13 and period 5. Indium has an atomic mass of 114.818 u.
The electron configuration of indium is [Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p1. The electronic configuration of the elements determines the way in which the electrons are structured in the atoms of an element. The mean radius of the Indian is 155 pm, its atomic radius or Bohr radius is 156 pm, its covalent radius is 144 pm, and its Van der Waals radius is 193 pm. Indium has a total of 49 electrons whose distribution is as follows: In the first shell it has 2 electrons, in the second it has 8 electrons, in its third shell it has 18 electrons, in the fourth, 18 electrons and in the fifth shell it has 3 electrons.
