Gallium…

This entry is part 8 of 10 in the series Elements

Another offering from the brilliant Periodic Table of Videos guys, this time about gallium. Gallium is a metal element but not one that we get to play with in the lab. After watching this I want to get a sample for school as it looks like a fun substance.

Questions…

  1. What other metal is named after the same place as gallium?
  2. Suggest some properties that show gallium is a typical metal.
  3. What property makes it slightly unusual among metals.
  4. What kind of substance is gallium sulphate?
  5. What gas would be released when gallium reacted with sulphuric acid?
