Hello, There you go. The French chemist Paul-Emile Lecoq de Boisbaudran (1838â1912), who discovered it in 1875. Gallium (Latin Gallia meaning Gaul; also gallus, meaning rooster) was discovered spectroscopically by Lecoq de Boisbaudran in 1875 by its characteristic spectrum (two violet lines) in an examination of a zinc blende from the Pyrenees.
Gallium is used to make the compounds gallium arsenide (GaAs) and gallium nitride (GaN) which are used to manufacture these devices. Other applications of gallium include low-melting metal alloys, mirrors, and medical thermometers. How was it discovered? Gallium was first predicted by Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev. However, it was French chemist Paul Emile Lecoq de Boisbaudran who first isolated the element in 1875 and is given credit for its discovery. Where did gallium get its name?
