Liquid metal will wet to most metallic surfaces. Specifically though, room-temperature liquid metal can be very reactive with certain metals. Liquid metal can dissolve most metals; however, at moderate temperatures, only some are slightly soluble, such as sodium, potassium, gold, magnesium, lead, nickel and mercury. Gallium is corrosive to all metals except tungsten and tantalum, which have a high resistance to corrosion, more so than niobium, titanium and molybdenum. Similar to indium, gallium and gallium-containing alloys have the ability to wet to many non-metallic surfaces such as glass and quartz. Gently rubbing the alloy into the surface may help induce wetting. However,
Chlorine perchlorate Chlorine perchlorate Chlorine perchlorate is the chemical compound with the formula ClO. This chlorine oxide is an asymmetric oxide, with one chlorine atom in oxidation state +1 and the other +7, with proper formula ClOClO. It is produced by the photolysis of chlorine dioxide at room temperature with 436 nm ultraviolet light: Chlorine perchlorate can also be made the following reactions at −45 °C. Chlorine perchlorate is a pale greenish liquid which decomposes at room temperature. It is less stable than ClO and decomposes to O, Cl and ClO at room temperature. Chlorine perchlorate reacts with metal chlorides forming anhydrous
