berkeman said:I googled element metal melting point, and got lots of hits. This first hit is a cool periodic table with the melting points of all the elements listed. Cool (pun intended):
http://www.chemicalelements.com/show/meltingpoint.html
The metallic element that fits this description is Gallium (Ga).
Gallium has a unique atomic structure that allows it to have a lower melting point (29.76°C) compared to other metals. This is due to its low atomic mass and weak metallic bonding.
No, gallium is not commonly found in nature. It is usually extracted as a byproduct of processing other metals such as aluminum and zinc.
Gallium has several practical applications, including its use in thermometers, semiconductors, and as a component in some types of alloys.
In its pure form, gallium is not toxic to humans. However, it can cause skin irritation if handled for prolonged periods. It is also important to note that some gallium compounds can be toxic, so proper safety precautions should always be taken when handling this element.
