PHONETICS

Thallium is a soft grey post-transition metal is not found free in nature. When isolated, it resembles tin, but discolours when exposed to the air. Used for flame spectroscopy, in which thallium produces a notable green spectral line. 60–70% of thallium production is used in the electronics industry, and the remainder used in pharmaceutical and glass manufacturing.
