Poperties and Uses Of Gallium

• Melting Point 29.78 C (302.93 K, 85.604004 F)
  
• Boiling Point 2403.0 C (2676.15 K, 4357.4 F)
  
• Number of Protons/Electrons 31
• Number of Neutrons 39
• Density _at_ 293 K 5.907 g/cm3
• Color White/Silver

• Gallium wets glass or porcelain, and forms a
  brilliant mirror when it is painted on glass
• Used for doping semiconductors and producing
  solid-state devices such as transistors
• Gallium arsenide converts electricity into
  coherent light
• Alloying
• 90 tons of gallium (2 or 3 years of world
  production) is used to detect solar neutrinos by
  the use of the reaction nu 71Ga gt 71Ge e-.
  The rate, although very low (less than 1
  interaction per day in 30 tonnes of Ga) makes
  gallium unique for this purpose. Two experiments
  are running - GALLEX using 30 tons in the Gran
  Sasso underground laboratory (Italy) and SAGE
  with 60 tons in the Baksan laboratory in Caucasus
  (Russia). thanks Michel
