GALLIUM Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties light grey solid
General Description GALLIUM is a silvery-white liquid at room temperature. Ingestion of GALLIUM may be toxic. GALLIUM is corrosive to aluminum. If exposed to high temperatures, GALLIUM may emit toxic fumes which may form a corrosive alkaline solution with water. GALLIUM is soluble in most acids and alkalis. GALLIUM is used as a semiconductor material.
Air & Water Reactions Stable in dry air, in moist air GALLIUM tarnishes
Reactivity Profile Metals, such as GALLIUM METAL, are reducing agents and tend to react with oxidizing agents (i.e. hydrogen peroxide). Their reactivity is strongly influenced by their state of subdivision: in bulk they often resist chemical combination; in powdered form they may react more rapidly. Reacts violently with chlorine and other halogens at ambient temperatures [Bretherick, 5th Ed., 1995].
Health Hazard Inhalation of vapors or contact with substance will result in contamination and potential harmful effects. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
Fire Hazard Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may react upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Runoff may pollute waterways.
