It is in the Boron family (group 13) and in period 4. Gallium was discovered in 1875 by Paul Emile Lecoq de Boisbaudran. Boisbaudran named his newly discovered element after himself, deriving from the Latin word, “Gallia,” which means “Gaul.” Elemental Gallium does not exist in nature but gallium (III) salt can be extracted in small amounts from bauxite and zinc ores.

One of the earliest and costly methods in 1850 was to reduce aluminum chloride with sodium metal to obtain aluminum metal and sodium chloride. (Sodium metal is not easy to obtain either).

Details for the extraction of aluminum, copper, iron and titanium are given in separate pages in this section.

Chlorine and argon are omitted—chlorine because it is meaningless to talk about "chlorine chloride", and argon because it is inert and does not form a chloride.

It is commonly used in the household as aluminum foil, in crafts such as dyeing and pottery, and also in construction to make alloys. In its purest form the metal is bluish-white and very ductile. It is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity and finds use in some wiring. When pure it is too soft for construction purposes but addition of small amounts of silicon and iron hardens it significantly.

It introduces the "activity series," ranking metals by their reactivity, which helps predict single-replacement reactions. An example is provided showing that nickel can replace lead but not iron in reactions. The page emphasizes the role of the activity series in predicting how metals interact with water and acids.
