| − | Gallium is a silvery-white metal used in high-speed semiconductors and [[LED]]s in the form of gallium arsenide (GaAs). The pure metal is somewhat brittle, has a very low melting point of 29.78° [[Celsius]] (85.2° [[Fahrenheit]]). It will melt in your hand if held long enough, but this is not recommended because it stains hands and is difficult to get off. | + | '''Gallium''' is a silvery-white metal used in high-speed semiconductors and [[LED]]s in the form of gallium arsenide (GaAs).
