There is NO such metal:

Mercury is already molten (-39oC) and the next lowest is Potassium with melting point (+63oC) which you never can reach by holding in your hand: (maximum +37oC body temperature).

Anyhow, you should NEVER hold these two metals in your hand!!

(Hg is toxic and K is self igniting to burn with air (oxygen) and flammable with water (sweating)!!)

The metallic elements cesium and gallium have melting points of 83.19 degrees Fahrenheit and 85.57 degrees Fahrenheit, respectively. Since average body temperature is 96.8 degrees Fahrenheit, these elements could melt in your hand.

Which metal melts on the palm of the hand?

Francium melts at about 80oF. Cesium melts at about 83.4oF. Gallium melts at about 85.6oF. All of these are solid at room temperature but would melt in your hand. Rubidium melts at about 103.4oF, so that is just a little higher than body temperature. Mercury melts at 37.7oF, so it would certainly melt in your hand, but it would already be a liquid at room temperature.


What happens to gallium when it melts?
