Indium mirrors are typically made by depositing a thin layer of indium metal onto a substrate using techniques such as physical vapor deposition or sputtering. The indium layer is then polished to achieve the desired reflective properties. Indium mirrors are known for their high reflectivity in the infrared spectrum.
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 is in caves and place where its cool.
In is the symbol of indium.
Indium is a solid metal.
Indium was discovered by German chemists Ferdinand Reich and Hieronymous Theodor Richter in 1863. They identified it through spectroscopic analysis of a zinc ore sample.
Indium wire and indium foil
Indium is a chemical element with the symbol In and atomic number 49. It is a soft, malleable metal that is often found in zinc ores. It is typically extracted as a byproduct during the refining of zinc.
Convex mirrors.
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
caves have indium in it
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
The chemical symbol of indium is In.
Nothing ,if it is made of mirrors there would be no light to reflect !
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.
The empirical formula of indium chloride is InCl3, which represents the simplest whole-number ratio of the elements in the compound.
No, mirrors do not have to be made of glass to be reflective. Mirrors can also be made using other materials like metal or polished stone that have reflective properties.
