Explanation
Elemental gallium is a soft, silvery blue metal at standard temperature and pressure, a brittle solid at low temperatures, and a liquid at temperatures greater than (above room temperature, but below the normal human body temperature). The melting point of gallium is used as a temperature reference point. So the gallium become liquid when comes in contact of human body. The kinetic human theory is given by diagram.
