11 Aug, 2012 Who discovered 0. Gallium is a chemical element with the atomic number 31 and the chemical symbol Ga. It is a soft silvery metal that is not found naturally on Earth as a pure metal.
In the photo above, I am holding two small vials of liquid metal. The vial on the right contains gallium, an element that melts at 29.76Â° Celsius (85.57Â° Fahrenheit). The vial on the left is an alloy that contains gallium, indium, and tin, and melts at -20Â° Celsius (-4Â° Fahrenheit). (Both are available in our catalog .). The gallium is liquid because I had the bottle in my shirt pocket, next to my warm body. At normal comfortable room temperatures it is a solid. Because gallium expands when it solidifies (unlike most metals), the vials are only filled half way. To get the solid metal out of the vial, simply warm it up in a cup of hot water until it melts.
