Gallium does have weaker metallic bonding than aluminium, leading to lower melting and boiling points, which is the Reason. However, the Assertion that gallium is a liquid at room temperature whereas aluminium is solid is not explained by the Reason, as the melting point of gallium is lower than at room temperature while the melting point of aluminium is higher. Gallium is a metal that has a low melting point of just 29.76°C, which is lower than room temperature, while aluminium has a melting point of 660.32°C
