The periodic table is a chart that shows how elements are related to one another. Indium is a transition metal that is also part of the platinum family. The metals in the platinum family are also known as the noble metals. They have this name because they do not react well with other elements and compounds. They appear to be too superior to react with most other substances. In fact, iridium is the most corrosion-resistant metal known.
Precipitation falls as snow when the air temperature is below 2 Â°C. It is a myth that it needs to be below zero to snow. In fact, in this country, the heaviest snow falls tend to occur when the air temperature is between zero and 2 Â°C.
Precipitation, which is the falling of water back to the ground after condensing in the atmosphere, occurs all over Earth and in many different forms. A heavy downpour, a light drizzle, snow, sleet and hail are all types of precipitation. Be it falling liquid water or falling ice, it's all the same process. Precipitation can only occur after condensation, which is when water turns from a gas to a liquid. The atmosphere is filled with water vapor, which is water in a gaseous state. Sometimes this water vapor cools and builds up on dust particles in the atmosphere, forming a cloud.
