Gallium is a chemical element with the symbol Ga and atomic number 31. It is in group 13 of the periodic table, and thus has similarities to the other metals of the group, Aluminium, Indium, and Thallium. Elemental gallium is a soft, silvery metal at standard temperature and pressure. It is the only metal other than mercury to be in a liquid state at room temperature. Liquid gallium wets porcelain and glass surfaces; it forms a bright, highly reflective surface when coated on glass.

Gallium easily alloys with most metals, so it is used to form low-melting alloys. Analog integrated circuits are the most common application for gallium.
With optoelectronic devices (mostly laser diodes and light-emitting diodes) as the second largest end use.
Gallium has semiconductor properties, especially as gallium arsendite (GaAs). This can convert electricity to light and is used in light emitting diodes (LEDs) for electronic display and watches.
Gallium is used in some high temperature thermometers.
It can be used to create brilliant mirrors.
