The metal that has very low melting point and its periodic position is closer to a metalloid is

We need to identify a metal with a very low melting point whose position in the periodic table is closer to a metalloid.

Analyzing the options:

Option A: Al (Aluminium) - Melting point is $$660°C$$, which is relatively high. It is close to metalloids but does not have a very low melting point.

Option B: Ga (Gallium) - Gallium has an exceptionally low melting point of $$29.76°C$$ (it melts in your hand). In the periodic table, Gallium is in Group 13, Period 4, and is adjacent to the metalloid Germanium (Ge). This makes it close to the metal-metalloid boundary.

Option C: Se (Selenium) - Selenium is itself a non-metal/metalloid, not a metal.

Option D: In (Indium) - Indium has a melting point of $$156.6°C$$, which is low but not as remarkably low as Gallium. It is also farther from the metalloid boundary compared to Gallium.

Gallium perfectly fits both criteria: it has a very low melting point and its periodic position is close to metalloids.

The correct answer is Option B.
