| Gallium (Ga) Metal | ||
|
Solid
gallium is a blue-gray metal with orthorhombic crystalline structure; very
pure gallium has a stunning silvery color. Gallium is solid at normal room
temperatures, but as well as mercury, cesium, and rubidium it becomes
liquid when heated slightly. Solid gallium is soft enough to be cut with a
knife. It is stable in air and water; but it reacts with and dissolves in
acids and alkalis.
Ultra-pure
gallium has a beautiful, silvery appearance, and the solid metal exhibits
a conchoidal fracture similar to glass. The metal expands on solidifying;
therefore, it should not be stored in glass or metal containers, as they
may break as the metal solidifies. Basic Information
