Group, Period, Block 13 (IIIA), 4 , pThe p-block of the periodic table of elements consists of the last six groups. In the elemental form of the p-block elements, the highest energy electron occupies a p- orbital. The p-block contains all of the nonmetals and semimetals, as well as some of t
DensityFor other meanings of density, see density (disambiguation Density (symbol: rho Greek: rho) is a measure of mass per unit of volume. The higher an object's density, the higher its mass per volume. The average density of an object equals its total mass div, Hardness 5904 kg/m3Kilogram per cubic metre is the SI measure of density and is represented as kg/m³, where kg stands for kilogram and m³ stands for cubic metre. The density of water is about 1000 kg/m³, since a cubic metre of water weighs about a tonne. kg/m³" is sometimes, 1.5

Atomic properties
Atomic weightIn reference to a certain isotope of a chemical element, atomic weight (more accurately relative atomic mass though also called simply atomic mass is the mass of one atom of the isotope expressed in units atomic mass unit amu) such that the Carbon-12 isot 69.723 amuThe atomic mass unit amu , unified atomic mass unit u , or dalton Da , is a small unit of mass used to express atomic masses and molecular masses. It is defined to be 1/12 of the mass of one atom of Carbon-12. Accordingly, :1 u 1/N gram 1/(1000 N) kg (whe
Atomic radiusAtomic radius is the distance from the atomic nucleus to the outmost stable electron orbital in a atom that is at equilibrium and is measured in picometers or Angstroms. Atomic radii are called covalent radii (a reference to the types of bonds formed) whe (calc.) 130 (136) pm

Gallium is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Ga and atomic number 31. A rare, soft silvery metallic poor metal, gallium is brittle at low temperatures but is liquid above room temperature and can indeed melt in the hand. It occurs in trace amounts in bauxite and zinc ores. Gallium arsenide is used as a semiconductor, most notably in light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
