Question

Metals that melt in our hand are:

• A. Caesium and gallium
• B. Francium and uranium
• C. Thorium and radium
• D. Iron and copper

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Caesium and gallium

Caesium and gallium are very soft metals that can be cut with a knife. They are solid at room temperature but as soon as you pick them up and hold them in your palm for while, you will see them melt. This is because their melting point is above room temperature and below our body temperature.

Note: Please don't touch caesium bare-handed. You might lose the hand!
