Gallium is relatively coarse, dissolved in dilute acid under the action of hydrogen, and slowly dissolved in hot water. Due to passivation, no reaction occurs in cold water and concentrated nitric acid. It's very stable in the air.. Details →

Indium is the most soluble metal in mercury at room temperature.
At very high temperatures, India even reacts with phosphorus, selenium, sulfur, nitrogen and hydrogen. …  Details →

Germanium is a silver luster, hard and very brittle material. Under high pressure, brittle materials fracture and show fracture surface similar to that of silicon. Also in chemical behavior, germanium is similar to silicon. It's relatively reactive and very air resistant…  Details →

"Galintin" is a silver odorless liquid. Even at temperatures below 0 ° C, it is liquid and can adhere to many materials, including glass, which limits its application in some cases. If gallium oxide (III) is coated inside the tube in advance, the thermometer can only be made with galinston… Details →

The field's metal is used as casting metal to monitor temperature, as a conductive medium, and as a heating and cooling fluid. Because it can wet glass in liquid, it can also be used as solder for glass…Details →

High-purity lanthanum oxide is often used in the glass industry to make high-quality specialty glasses for optical devices (e.g., camera lenses). For example, all the lenses in the cameras of the first two Mars rovers have lenses made of lanthanum glass.… Details →

This indium-bismuth alloy (66% indium; 34% bismuth) is a popular and harmless substitute for Wood's alloy (similar melting point) without the toxic lead and cadmium and is RoHs compatible… Details →

Bismuth is a silvery-white, relatively soft and coarsely crystalline heavy metal or semimetal. It exhibits a rhombic crystal structure with very tightly packed bilayers. The shortest distance between two bilayers is 352.9 pm, which is only 15% greater than the minimum distance between two atoms in a bilayer … Details →

Tin and its inorganic compounds are far less toxic than lead, but not completely free of problems. The element enters the body mainly through the ingestion of tin-containing foods. For example, acute symptoms of poisoning have been observed in people who drank lime juice from a tin can. Inorganic tin compounds are converted to organotin… Details →
