Coefficient of Thermal Expansion of Gallium (Ga) & Facts, Color, Uses ... 2022

Size of things changes depending on the coefficient of thermal expansion. It's even the case for Gallium. Ok, so what is the coefficient of thermal expansion for an atom of Ga?

Note: Learn more about the coefficient of thermal expansion here.

In the case of Gallium this thermal coefficient is 19.7 10^-6 K^-1. By the way, did you know there are cool facts about Gallium that most don't know? Check this...
