Notes

  1. The melting point of gallium is a defining point on the International Temperature Scale 1990 (ITS-90), with a value of 302.9146 K (29.7646 °C).[1]
  2. Value for liquid gallium at 30 °C. The electric resistivity of solid gallium is highly anisotropic: a 17.5 µΩ cm, b 8.20 µΩ cm, c 55.3 µΩ cm.[3]
  3. Gallium has a unique solid state structure, in which each gallium atom has one very close neighbour at 244 pm and six futher neighbours, two each at 270, 273 and 279 pm.[3]
