Gallium melts in your hand.

the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
Recorded sources
8 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Gallium melts in your hand?

Yes. Multiple reference and textbook sources state that gallium's melting point is near or below human body temperature, so a piece of it melts when held in the hand. A peer-reviewed materials-science review says the same.
