I'm Indium, a material you can chew!

Please don't though, it feels weird if you do that to me...

I'm atomic number 49!

I was in a Vsauce video!

What i look like!

Something InTeResting about these three

Although there are stable isotopes of Indium, Tellurium and Rhenium, the most common isotopes of these elements found in nature - In-115, Te-130 and Re-187 - are actually radioactive, albeit with insanely long half-lives of 441 trillion, 791 quintillion and 41.6 billion years respectively.

We've decided that the cattos you see on this blog's periodic table represent their respective element's most common isotope (or the most stable if there's no data on their isotopic abundance, like with every single synthetic element). Therefore, Indium, Tellurium and Rhenium are now trans boys! It took them a while to get their surgeries, but it's certainly worth it.

Alloys: Galinstan

The eutetic alloy of gallium, indium, and tin is often known as Galinstan, though the term is also technically a brand name. The alloy name is derived from the names of its three component elements, using the Latin for tin (stannum). Composition can vary in commercial Galinstan, but the eutetic of the alloy is 68.5% Ga, 21.5% In, and 10.0% Sn.

Galinstan is primarily used in liquid metal applications and has a melting temperature of around −19 °C (−2 °F), making it a liquid at room temperature. One application is the replacement of liquid mercury, as a non-toxic alternative in thermometers. It can also be used as a thermal interface material, or in electrical circuits.

found out that indium can be safely chewed like bubble gum

… look what someone did

*sigh* Just because Indium is described as having a 'chewy' appearance doesn't mean that you should bite him... or any catto, for that matter. Please don't bite me, that hurts. Like, a lot. Is he alright? Did... did someone get him to Iodine?

Hello, sibling!

@indium-offical

:D

INDIUM! I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU SINCE MY LAST TRIP! HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?

In order to not die while designing the lanthanides one must hit them with the lesbian beam /silly

Finally made a catto containing Indium, also hydraulic press loving Indium(II) Digallinide

Gender: Female Personality: She is a friendly and kind catto who likes to own hydraulic presses, but she is somewhat active most of the time. She likes to be squished into a puddle. She is friends with most liquids since she is a social semiliquid catto. She sometimes gets stuck in screens by accident. She is somewhat elusive to most cattos.
