Is the element Gallium ductile?
Yes, I guess it depends on how ductile you need your metal to be. I believe that gallium is added to other metals to make that metal more ductile. According to http://www.chemicalelements.com/groups/othermetals.html
The 7 elements classified as "other metals" are located in groups 13, 14, and 15. While these elements are ductile and malleable, they are not the same as the transition elements. These elements, unlike the transition elements, do not exhibit variable oxidation states, and their valence electrons are only present in their outer shell. All of these elements are solid, have a relatively high density, and are opaque. They have oxidation numbers of +3, ±4, and -3.
The "Other Metals" are: Aluminum Gallium Indium Tin Thallium Lead Bismuth
