Mercury's most well known feature is that it is a metal at room temperature. Mercury is the only metal to have this property (though some metals melt slightly above room temperature). In fact, mercury is one of only two elements (the other being bromine) that are liquid at room temp.

You could be asking about the element Mercury or the planet Mercury. The element Mercury is probably most remarkable for being a metal which is liquid at room temperature.However, I think this is about the planet. The planet's famous feature is called the "Caloris Basin".AnswerThe first answer asked a good question regarding the "Mercury" of which you write. I'll assume it is the element mercury. I agree with the above. Also, it changes in volume quite a bit with changes in its temperature. That makes it a good filling for a thermometer. Now, I think they use alcohol. Silver colored material in a thermometer is mercury; red is alcohol of some type.Another well-known feature of mercury is that it is heavy compared to other liquids. This is detectable just by holding a container with mercury in it.I believe that it has a high surface tension; that's why it "balls up" when free to sit on a surface.Another feature is that it is a toxin found in polluted streams and thus the creatures that live in these streams. It is considered poisonous and absorbable through the skin, I think.Lastly, it will dissolve gold; keep it off your rings.
