2 Facts

2.1 Interesting Facts

Luster of Indium is bright in nature.
Reich and richer were looking for thallium in zinc metal and they discovered Indium metal.

Vanadium is a highly reactive metal, hence it is not found free in nature.
Vanadium can be found in almost 65 different types of minerals.

3 Uses

3.1 Uses & Benefits

It is used to produce indium tin oxide (ITO), it is used in manufacturing touch screens, flat screen TVs and solar panels.

Its nitride, phosphide and antimonide are used in transistors and microchips.

Its ally with steel is used very tough and hence it is used in armor plates, axles, piston rods, tools and crankshafts.
Its oxide is used as pigments for glass and ceramics.
