Mercury is the only metal that is in a liquid state at room temperatures and remains liquidat temperatures well below the freezing temperature of water. Mercury is a noncombustible,heavy, silvery-colored metal that evenly expands and contracts with temperature and does not“wet” or stick to gla...
Mercury is a heavy, silvery-white metal that is liquid at room temperature. Compared to other metals, it is a poor conductor of heat, but a fair conductor of electricity.[9] It has a freezing point of −38.83 °C and a boiling point of 356.73 °C,[10][11][12] both the lowest ...
The freezing point of mercury is −38.830C and the boiling point is 356.730C. Mercury poisoning caused because of the ingesting any form of mercury. It is also caused by inhalation of mercury vapor. Mercury dissolves many metals including gold and silver to form amalgams.Explore...
Mercury definition: a heavy, silver-white, highly toxic metallic element, the only one that is liquid at room temperature; quicksilver: used in barometers, thermometers, pesticides, pharmaceutical preparations, reflecting surfaces of mirrors, and dental

Mercury is the only elemental metal that is liquid at ordinary temperatures, with a freezing point of-38 °F (-39 °C)and a boiling point of 674 °F (356.9 °C). Silvery white, dense, toxic (see mercury poisoning), and a good conductor of electricity, mercury is occasionally found fre...
The Greek name for it washydrargyros"liquid silver," which gives the element its symbol,Hg. Comparequicksilver, which is its popular name. It has a freezing point of -39° C. The use of the word in reference to temperature or state of the atmosphere (by 1756) is from its use in the...
