what metals melt at 90 degrees
The melting point of a metal is an important aspect of the metal’s properties. It is also an important consideration when working with metals in a variety of different manufacturing processes such as fusion welding and casting.
Metals have different melting points due to their crystal structure and packing. Some elements have crystal structures with high packing that result in a higher melting point than other elements with more stable crystal structures and lower packing.
When an element melts, it undergoes a phase change that causes most of its bonds to break. The amount of energy needed to do this is called a melting point and is determined by the enthalpy of formation (the energy it takes for atoms to bond together) as well as the enthalpy of dissociation (the energy it takes for atoms that are already attached to other atoms to release their bonds).
Gallium
It is a chemical element in group 13 (IIIa) of the periodic table, found at the transition between aluminum and indium. This metal liquefies just above room temperature, and it is used in thermometers as an alternative to mercury, which is toxic and dangerous.
Thermometers and other temperature sensors use this metal, which has a boiling point of 2673 K and an even lower melting point of -19 degC, well below the freezing point of water. It is considered an environmentally friendly alternative to mercury and can withstand significantly higher temperatures than the former.
