Indium Chloride

Question: Why would Indium and Chlorine form Indium(I)Chloride and/or Chlorine (III) Chloride? why are there two types of Indium chloride like InCl and then InCl3 one answer I came up with is electron configuration but my assignment says there is another reason for it. help me out? thanks =)

Answer: Indium can have a charge of +1 or +3. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indium) Chloride ions have a charge of -1. To balance it out, indium can either combine with 1 chloride ion by having a charge of +1 and forming InCl, or with 3 chloride ions by having a charge of +3 and forming InCl3.
