Abstract:
A review of the historic evolution of gallium alloys and their manipulation characteristics is presented. Although they have similar, or even better, mechanic properties than modern silver amalgams, their use is restricted. This restriction is due to difficulties in their manipulation, their tendency to corrosion, their controversial biocompatibility and the lack of knowledge about gallium's environmental impact. However gallium alloys are still considered as improvable alternatives to silver amalgams.

Common Ion Effect
Acid Halides to Ketones: Gilman Reagent
As shown below, the mechanism proceeds in two steps. First, one of the alkyl groups of the reagent acts as a nucleophile and attacks the acyl carbon of the acid chloride to form a tetrahedral intermediate. This is followed by the reformation of the carbon–oxygen double...
Acid Halides to Alcohols: Grignard Reaction
Grignard reagents are a source of carbanions and function as nucleophiles. The mechanism begins with the nucleophilic attack by the carbanion at the carbonyl carbon of the acid halide to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Next, the carbonyl group is re-formed, and the halide ion departs,...

Mesh Analysis with Current Sources
Current Source in One Mesh: The analysis process is straightforward when a current source is found in only one mesh within the circuit. Mesh currents are assigned as usual, with the mesh containing the current source excluded from the analysis. Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL)...
