Gallium dust or fumes may cause respiratory, digestive or skin irritations. Chronic exposure may result in bone marrow abnormalities. Anyone handling it should wear gloves and eye protection and an emergency eyewash should be available.
Like many metals, gallium shavings can in fact burn. Do not use water or CO2 to extinguish a gallium fire. Use dry chemical, dry sand or dry ground dolomite.
Others have said:
"Its neither corrosive or flammable. Its just a non-toxic element that melts in one's hand."
Gallium is not flammable. But if exposed to heat or high temperature, gallium can give out toxic fumes, which can be dangerous to health if inhaled.
Some arsenicals are flammable, others are corrosive...the problem with arsenic is how incredibly poisonous it is.
Flammability is a chemical property.
The flammability of silicon is not known scientist are still figuring out that.
No, flammability is a chemical property.
its not flammable
Yes, the ability of a substance to support burning is called flammability.

The flammability of silicon is not known scientist are still figuring out that.
Burning is a chemical change, flammability is a chemical property.
Flammability involve a chemical reaction - oxidation.
No, flammability is a chemical property.
This chemical has a very high flammability, therefore, we should avoid it.
This property is flammability.
Flammability is an example of the chemical property.
