Heat of Fusion of Gallium (Ga) + Discovery, Color, Sources ... 2022

Heat of fusion is an important (and pratical) atom property, even for Gallium. Ok, so what is the heat of fusion for an atom of Ga?

Note: Learn more about heat of fusion here.

In the case of Gallium, heat of fusion is 5.590 kJ/mol. Some cool facts about Gallium are unknown for most people. Let me walk you through them...

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Heat of Fusion of Gallium (Ga) + Discovery, Color, Sources ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
