The most common impurities are mercury lead tin zinc and copper. If certain impurity limits of high-purity gallium are exceeded the optoelectric properties of electronic materials are degraded or destroyed. Gallium is tested for purity using emission spectrography and mass spectrography and by residual resistivity measurement. Gallium ordinarily is not considered to be hazardous but it can be toxic in compounds or alloys depending upon the nature of the other components or ions. Gallium in aluminum causes severe intergranular corrosion of the aluminum. Structure Crystal structure. Orthorhombic Cmca a nm b nm c nm at 24 C. Metastable high-pressure phases also exist.
