Mercury is an unusual element because it's liquid at room temperature. For scientists, room temperature is the standard temperature in a lab – roughly 20°C.Using the diagram, explain why mercury is a liquid at room temperature and sodium is not.

Mercury is used as thermometric liquid of àll liquids.Why

What is the name of the metal which exists in liquid state at room temperature?(A) Sodium (B) Potassium (C) Mercury (D) Bromine

Match the sentences below to describe the physical properties of mercury and bromine. Mercury metal has a melting point...This means that, at room temperature, mercury is...Bromine is a......with a melting point of -7.2 °C and a boiling point...Bromine's boiling point is......so bromine is a...

Mercury melts at -38.87°C (234.13 K) at 1 atm (101,325 N/m2) pressure. The densities of liquid and solid mercury are 13.69 g/c.c. (13.69 x IO3 kg/m3) 33 and 14.19 g/c.c. (14.19 x 10 kg/m ) respectively at the normal melting point. 7 The heat of fusion of mercury is 2.33 cal/g (9.75 x 10 J/kg). Calcu

A mercury thermometer, graduated linearly, is immersed in the melting ice; mercury is at the division n=-3. In boiling water, under atmospheric pressure it reaches the n= +105 division. 1- In a warm bath, the mercury is at the division n=40. Determine the temperature T of the bath. 2- Determine the temperature for which there is no correction.
