Answer:

Gallium is silvery white and soft enough to be cut with a knife. It takes on a bluish tinge because of superficial oxidation. Unusual for its low melting point (about 30 °C [86 °F]), gallium also expands upon solidification and supercools readily, remaining a liquid at temperatures as low as 0 °C (32 °F).
