Best Answer

Element Gallium is used to make up compounds such as Gallium nitride and Gallium asenide. These compounds is used to make solid-state applying in light- emitting diodes(LEDs) primarily.More over some compounds of Gallium is also applied in medicine such as chemical thernometer despite of Mercury thernometer.

Gallium is alloyed with Plutonium (about 3% Gallium) to force the hard brittle alpha phase of Plutonium normal at room temperature into the soft ductile delta phase in Nuclear Weapons to make it workable and more easily machinable.

Gallium is very effective for finding neutrinos when used inside a telescope. An example of this use is the SAGE experiment at the Baksan Neutrino Observatory in Russia or the GALLEX neutrino detector operated in the early 1990s in an Italian mountain tunnel.

Gallium is used in several eutectic low temperature melting lead-free solder alloys.

  • dopant in semiconductor manufacturing.
  • alloy agent with plutonium to make it easier to process for making bombs.
  • half of the semiconductor alloy gallium-arsenide for high speed transistors.

Gallium and Arsenic are commonly used complementary dopants in semiconductor manufacture.

Uses of gallium:
- in liquid alloy galinstan
- in some thermometers for high temperature
- in semiconductors as GaAs
- in gallium nitride GaN
- plutonium-gallium alloy for nuclear bombs
- standard for the temperature scale

Gallium can be used in different ways. Gallium can be used as a tracer in medicine. The King of Random(YouTube) uses it for experiments because of the low melting point.
