So, today I want to tell you about a very interesting metal - Indium. It’s in the third group of the periodic table of chemical elements, below gallium.
Indium is unusual because it is the softest metal that you can actually hold in your hands. Lithium is softer that indium, but because of its high activity, lithium will form caustic alkali in hands and oxidize in air. In appearance, indium is shiny and does not tarnish in air. Due to the high softness, indium can be scratched even with a fingernail, you can cut a piece of it off with a regular construction knife.
If you take a piece of indium and a piece of gallium and rub them against each other, then at the point of contact of the two metals a liquid alloy of indium, gallium, will start to form, having a composition of 75.5% of gallium and 24.5% of indium.
The melting point of this alloy is about 15 degrees Celsius and this alloy remains liquid at room temperature. This alloy can very well moisten a glass, forming a beautiful mirror. By the way, in some cars headlights mirrors are covered with indium metal! If you moisten a cotton swab with this alloy, then we would get a metallic pen, with which you can draw conductive lines on the paper. In order to demonstrate you the most interesting property of indium, I decided to cast a thin plate from it.
Pure indium has a melting point of 157 degrees Celsius, it’s possible to easily cast different ingots from this metal. The resulting indium sheet is very soft. Since indium is incredibly soft, you can easily bite a piece of it off.
My teeth are not very strong, so it took me a bit of effort to bite off a piece of indium. Biting indium is not the most pleasant experience, it can be compared to chewing solid tar or soft plastic. Narrow strips of indium make them easier to bite. Also, if you try to bend an indium ingot you can hear a kind of crunching.
This crunch is caused by deformation of crystals inside the metal. The name indium is derived from the beautiful indigo colour, in which it paints the burner flames during combustion in air.
Pure indium is used as a component in many alloys, indium compounds are used in electronics, particularly in the manufacture of touch screens.

I've always thought "damn I wish there was a soft metal that I could bite"
Not every metal you can bite except indium.
we just got scammed by india (if you know what i mean)
There are also metals that you can drink xd mercury
@@jupiter_ios you drink first.
You can actually bite every metal...
ikr, though you probably know, what he means
Mercury?
Bite though Indium and rinse your mouth with Mercury.
+WOPPER Sounds like a good meal.
a tooth paste and mouthwash for me.
Where safety is numba one priority...nevermind
I was thinking the same thing!
XD Gotta love Taras
SNBoomer welcome to 'mala bala toy'
Omg yassz 😂😂😂
😁😂😁
2:35-2:46 "hello this is indium crackling ASMR ep.9"
hell ya
Moises Vazquez you are so fucking dumb
T1G0123 omg so much yes! i need my asmr channels to pick this up!!!
2;36-2:47
we need indium bending ASMR
yes yes
+IA-sama vocaliod yus
asmr is bullshit
+wifikabelverkoop whats asmr
relaxing sounds or something just search it
That crunch at 2:40 was so asmr lol
2:01 "The resulting indium shit is very soft."
Seegtease he said sheet not shit read the desc
Yes.
spring trap Obviously we all heard that. He/She was just joking.
***** ik
Seegtease omg hahahahaha why is this so funny
Misleading title: you can actualy bite any metal.
Steven Derp What about mercury?
You can't bite mercury in its purest form.
_ Inferno_Blaze _ Just freeze it solid!
that would be a crazy thing to do because it would melt the minute you put it in your mouth and would start melting when you touch it
Steven Derp no you can't. Mercury can't be bitten.
This looks tasty!
"Are you sure about that?"
no
tbh it does
Aucury Null Indium is not a radioactivity metal
@@JJean64 r/woooosh
I used to use Indium at work to remove surface mount integrated circuits. It melts at a lot lower temperature than solder so I could just flow it over the contacts and then use a heat gun to float the chip off without damaging the leads on the chip. Then just use some solder wick to clean the leads and pads on the circuit board.
Is it possible to chew indium like gum?
@@user-kp2ef8so1m -- Not unless your mouth temperature is over 314 degrees F. You could chew gallium gum though. It melts at 86 degrees F.
@@Fazzel ah, interesting
maybe the iphone 6 was made of it
Windows98 so true
Windows98 I agree
lol
What the fuck is iphone?
Striker how old are you
FIRST TIME I SAW THOISOIS FACE! and its been a year since this upload. I feel like I missed out :(
Thank you for all your videos, I feel like I was in my school sciences classes again (many years ago...)
It's really weird even though I don't really have a point in watching these videos I have managed to watch about 10 of them within the past week.
Apparently it's relaxing
so that's what iphones are made of
Haha.
DiamondPlayz WE'VE GOT A NOOB *_sirens are raised_* *EVERYONE GET TO A SHELTER QUICK! THE NOOBS HAVE ARRIVED!*
if that was meant as a insult....it didnt work.
GorenjeRulz No, sweet dreams are made of this
Güle güle comment copier.
LOVE this channel! Thank you for taking us to your lab!
Used Indium-tin-oxide sputtering to coat conductive layer on cathode ray tube faceplates and had issues with non-uniform deposition. Nice video. Thanks.
Potassium is very soft too and chewing it in its pure form is fun
Potassium reacts with water,it will blow you up
Spoken like a potassium-hater. Bananas are rich in potassium. Are you afraid of bananas?
Are you kidding right? Don't make me give you real explanations about bananas and potassium, please.
Listen son. I used to be into all this sience mumbo jumbo. Well, experience has taught me it's all bunk. We used to be happy with our electrons and neutros and then some big mouthed jerk came in and imposed his neutrinos beliefs and we ended up worse than we started. Now old fellas like me can't git a rest, ya hear me? Now these darned fools, there makin' all flavors of matter n' antimatter in them old axel-erators. Now, listen to me kiddo. One day, maybe not tomorroy, or the day after but surely it will happen... bang! zoom! straight to the moon!!
How can anyone be so daft to not recognize such an obvious troll?
When I bite into a York Indium patty....
"I feel like I'm standing on top of a metal mountain top!"
Who needs regular ASMR when you got Indium cracking sound.
Cory did this first, but still so satisfying to watch
cory or cody?
Cory in the house
Lol I hate my fingers. My bad, Cody.
Is the best anime
Now I want to buy some and draw with it or just make the crunchy sound lol these videos are really cool.
+theLuigiFan0007 I wouldn't bite lead though.
I have metal indium pure quantity 26 kg i in vietnam 🇻🇳 i sell please message me
"...biting Indium is not the most pleasant experience"
I bet it LOL
You should have over million subscribers, because it's best science channel on UA-cam!
Why are people here obsessed with eating non edible things.
if it's not food, don't eat it.
[ ] Not rekt
[ X ] Rekt
same can be said on frogs but the french still eat them
what about pussy
william Coolidge I agree 😆
I love frog legs! they taste like chicken but have the texture of fish
can I use salt and little bit of black peppers just to overcome the metallic taste?
XD
lmao
Oh boy, I always wanted to be able to consume absurd amounts of metal.
isn't it amazing that everything that is made basically comes from the ground. We make the cars we drive and all the computers..etc from dirt..amazing!
3:08
New and interesting what?
My question exactly...
@RᴀɪɴDᴇᴠᴏᴜʀ @Meghan LOHSE That's an Acer liquid Z530. (i know this because I got that Phone too)
+Sebastiaan Hofstee Cool story, no one asked about your phone though.
LOL I reacted to the wrong comment XD. Sorry for that
new and interesting trolls
Does anyone else hate that crunching sound? It makes me feel like one of my bones is breaking apart.
I actually love it, reminds me of tearing muscle
Me.. then i ferl like... BOOM MY BONE IS BROKEN... 😐
...I liked it
I hate it... 😂😂
I hate it the noise sounded like rough metal grinding across ur teeth (shivers went down my spine when I wrote that) 😁😶🤐
2:35
when your headphones broke
He wrote it all in the description cause he knows we have no idea what he is saying.
XD
HAHAHAHAHA!! OMG 😂😂
Mean but funny... ehh who cares if its mean its rly funny
He's trying hard to speak as clear as possible
*He did NOT copy cody's video.* He simply took inspiration from it. Please, just enjoy the video. That's what you came here to do, right?
oh hi
Logan Darklock slo
No
New Doritos chips
Wow now I know all about biting Indium, thanks!
How did you get your indium that thin? My piece is quite large, and my teeth are starting to hurt. Would it be easier to bite the indium if I bought a grill or something?
slightly offtopic:
did you know lead has actually a sweet taste?
Yep!
it doesn't it has the taste of DEATH
Desert Eagle death sometimes tastes like life, macdonald's fries for example xD
so does cyanide I think because I tasted it in Apple seeds
Sorry in advance for information no one asked for.
Metallic lead doesn't have a sweet taste. It is the lead(II) ion which tastes sweet. Especially lead(II) acetate was used as sugar substitute. It was very popular in ancient rome but it was also used until more recent times.
Cyanide is also not sweet. Its taste is described as burning and acrid. Apple seeds as well as the pits of cherries, prunes, peaches and so on contain amygdalin. Amygdalin is a cyanogenic glycoside which tastes like almonds because one part of that compound is benzaldehyde (almond aroma). Upon digestion it is split into benzaldehyde, glucose and hydrogen cyanide. Eating too much of these seeds can lead to cyanide poisoning. There is a very popular quackery which says that amygdalin can cure cancer and therefore patients should eat apricot pits but that is bullshit and dangerous.
love ur channel and very smart and handsome guy.
I freaking love this channel
This is the most satisfying video ever
omnomnomnom indium :D
Evulith Metal dragons eat ALL of the metal in the metal world
....you can bite ANY type of metal....... Some are just harder than others....that's all ! ;-)
telescopereplicator what about Mercury?
At room temperature you can drink it (NOT recommended !!) and when it is cold enough it is solid enough to bite in it.
Shitting bullets? If it is cold!!!!
DumbSkippy you just made me wonder if we could make bullets out of gallium or indium, so when they strike someone, they melt, making it easy to identify who was shot if they escape, and it would be non lethal because it would melt shortly after hitting them.
uhh, that would be even more lethal, heavy metal poisoning for sure. A nice lethal round none the less.
Wow, super cool vid. I knew that Indium was very cool but now....man! I have to try to make that alloy!! I HAVE TO!
Didn't know about that alloy, that's super cool

2:20 fighting Indians is not the most pleasant experience!
How much metal do you dayly eat
One of the best series about chemistry in internet...
I agree. Together with Periodic Videos it showed me more interesting facts about elements than all my Chemists teachers decades ago, who had not much access to material for demonstration. They would also like this.
Im so glad im not the only chemist that appreciates this metal. Do zinc next and piss off some people.
Trabalho maravilhoso!
you can actually buy aluminium foil and bite it...
...causes a toothache. Don't try it.
ugugugh, sends jitters down my spine.
aluminium is toxic don't wrap your food in it, because aluminium particles get on your food
its great way how to damage your teeth. Good job.
+Tonio Prove it
I think you are russian, who is trying to speak english, keep it up :) !!! Subscribed!
Thank you for your all videos.
Zat woz interezting
But you can bite any metal lol
Yes bite but not bite trough
Jeff Schulte uh what does bite trough mean
Wait you mean through
Jeff Schulte mmmmm, mercury. Imma gonna try to bite that...
Black Knight yes go do that
Black Knight Well it IS POSSIBLE to bite that, only you would...you know
Dude, Borat thanks for the chemistry vid.
Made up an indium discharge tube once. Gotta love that indigo!😍
can't understand what you are saying but ok
Alabama much ?
Perhaps you should get out of Hicksville and find that the world isn't a Hollywood movie.
Oh god you are embarrassing to English speakers!!
DumbSkippy what?
How do you not understand him?
Yes he does have a strong accent and misprouncence's SOME words but anyone who can speak and communicate in English can understand this guy.
And this is coming from a person who's first language Wasn't english
I guess i can see that it would be difficult to understand him for a person who is very faraside from English :S
me to i don't undellllstand because he lllllllrollll the r and he is maybe a lussian x)
"it took me a while to bite throught it as i don't have strong teeth" hahaha
Cool demonstration!
but the crunching of the metal is so satisfying XD Idek why though
Where and how can I get some indium and gallium?
ebay
amazon
internet shopping
Internet is a magical place u know ?
Indium Corporation sells indium and gallium. www.indium.com
I thought the metal was Iridium q-q
you wouldn't bite iridium lol
+PlantProductions Iridium (by memory) is really hard and has a high melting temperature. Oh and it is spelt differently, has a different atomic number and spot on the periodic...
Apart from that... Well... 😉
I can see why you thought Iridium and Indium were the same. 😆
satan I read the title as Iridium
Satan ?
😈
err nope.
Just a dumb Skippy from down under...
Laughing so hard after rereading my comment lol. I replied to a guy with a user name satan.
Man, these post transition metals love making cheap-knockoffs of dangerous metals. First gallium being knock-off Mercury, then indium being knock-off lithium.
2:38 its his finger bones breaking 😂
Fianly! I can be Gajeel!
Gehe...! :D
Never knew borat had a youtube channel
You are so enthusiastic.
The name should be changed to
*"Indium:-the most satisfying metal!"*
why would you bite it?
Basmaatjee Human logic
Why not?
for SCIENCE
Basmaatjee I
He sounds like Abdo from Ownage Pranks
I guess no one here watching Ownage Pranks and vice versa
It's like 9gaggers watching natgeo
Boom.
Savio Darmento I watch ownage pranks and he does sound like abo lol
Abdo*
So basically, this metal is just a different version of butter that is hard, silver, inedible and is considered a metal? Sounds like fun.
Laughed so hard at "Pure Indium is used as a component in many alloys"
I think I'm in love (0/////0)💕
Technically you can bite most metals, along with most semi- and nonmetals. I wouldn't recommend it , though.
Never have been able to bite off a piece of a nail. I guess you must have stronger teeth.
The metals that I have bitten in my life:-
1. Lithium. This was the worst experiment, it tasted so bitter and burned my tongue because of the heat of the reaction with water.
2. Magnesium
3. Aluminium
4. Iron
5. Copper
6. Silver
7. Platinum
8. Gold
I m still wondering why this wonderful thing was suggested to me after freaking 5 years!
I have metal indium pure quantity 26 kg i in vietnam 🇻🇳ua-cam.com/video/RgQALRbxaOo/v-deo.html
2:07 Oh wow, Thoisoi looks like a Thoichad
You're NurdRages cool russian cousin
ze ze ze ze ze
the sound is so satisfying
i never knew that i'd be watching indium through indium!
ze thing is zamanzing

Cody's Lab much?
Fanboi much?
If fanboy means subscriber, then yes. Keep stupid comments to yourself.
Trans am county And keep yours to yourself. You cannot teach a lesson you have not learned yourself yet.
korpakukac I was just stating a fact that this youtuber was copying Cody's Lab. How does that show that I am a fan boy? Only a person as yourself would know that...
didn't realise Cody owned the exclusive right to talk about a metal
U CAN ACTUALLY BITE EVERY METAL BUT WE CANT BITE A METAL BECAUSE IAM HUMAN🤣🤣🤣
Great video.
DON'T PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH: THAT SHIT IS RADIOACTIVE
Your face is radioactive
It's not
You're thinking of Iridium, which is completely different from Indium.
His russian, he would bite it even if it was. Just to show how double tough he is! Even the Russian Nerds would kick your arse!
No, I am thinking of indium. Iridium, as you say, is a much different metal from indium and has two stable isotopes. Naturally occurring indium, however, is about 96% indium-115, which is radioactive. The half-life is about 4.41E14 years, which is over 440 trillion years! About 30,000 times the life of our universe. Just for fun I did the math, and I found that 1Kg of indium will undergo about 250 nuclear breakdowns per second. Indium-115 emits a beta particle, which means an electron shoots out of the nucleus, leaving another proton behind so the atomic number increases by one and the atomic weight stays the same. It decays to tin-115, which is stable.
hes cute lol
The accent is so great!!! 🤣👏👍
Very interesting.
how About tin foil😂
made out of tin, tin foil itself is not a metal.
Mewion Gaming actually tin foil is made from aluminum
oh yeah, forgot about that xD
Very interesting, thanks for sharing!
"Since indium is incredibly soft you can easily bite a piece of it off" takes a long time to bite it off.
Indium and gallium aloy makes a really good thermally conductive material. Used by some to better cool their high wattage cpus mostly intel cpus need such metrial to keep them from melting the motherboard socket.
You sure it's that alloy? Gallium eats away the aluminium from the Die cover.
Very artistic metal drawing
man im so glad ur channel is growing up!! when i first watched ur videos they were only at 1000 views or so
This channel is great! Very informative 👌🏽
I have metal indium pure quantity 26 kg i in vietnam
bruh this is much more satisfying than slime, why?
Thanks for the video I looked up on it and it has more uses since the late 1970s then went down now up. Also used with gold and silver to make things harder. Also a new use in lithium ion batteries in the near future.
sir tho i asked you i want to take 50 % indium and 50 % silver for the two types of mixing, will it react?
OK UA-cam I WATCHED IT!! NOW GET OF MY RECOMMENDED LIST
Well Indians would be proud to see an element named after indium huh!🖤
Edited ~As I'm
@@ExtremeRidersJodhpur Why u need to know?
Thnx for the clip. I read that Indium is highly toxic and considered hazardous material
